Made in America, Built on Main Street

Across Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas, small manufacturers are the heartbeat of our local economies. For the “mom-and-pop” shops that power our towns, operating on thin margins means every single penny counts. From the desktop computers in an office to the front-end loaders on a factory floor, business owners invest in every piece of machinery used to make goods and create local jobs. When we help these small businesses, we help everyone—because for these owners, their employees are like family members.

Florida leads property tax revolt on ballots in November

Florida is leading a multistate revolt to lower property taxes, another aspect of the growing divide between older homeowners and young homebuyers. Voters in Florida, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Wyoming, and other states will all vote on ballot measures in the midterm elections that would lower property tax burdens for homeowners. Proponents argue that such initiatives would provide much-needed relief for taxpayers who have seen the value of their homes explode in recent years, while critics contend that the reduced revenue will have to be shouldered by taxpayers in other ways or that crucial spending would have to be cut.
