TRUSSVILLE, AL – The Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual legislative breakfast on Thursday, November 8, at the Trussville Civic Center.
Congressman Gary Palmer was the featured speaker at the breakfast.
Palmer said he believes we need to simply the tax code, which would impact the tax gap or what should have been paid in taxes but hasn’t been. He also said we need a higher corporate tax rate. “We have to do this incrementally,” he said. “By raising taxes all at once, we’ll suffer from the ‘law of unintended consequences.’ We don’t want to create a deficit we can’t overcome.” Palmer recently received the coveted “Spirit of Enterprise Award” from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for his voting record regarding issues that local chambers and the American business community identify as most important.
The breakfast was sponsored by Chick-fil-A Trussville, and thegold level sponsor was St. Vincent’s East.
