Urge the state legislature to remove the sales tax on food.

Take action by   Tuesday, February 1, 2005

House Bill 214 sponsored by Democratic Representative Ann Robinson would remove the sales tax on food. It would also provide towns and counties with money to offset the revenue lost by ending the sales tax on groceries.

It is wrong to tax the most basic need of Wyoming's families. House Bill 214 would save a family of four over $200 every year.

Before Wyoming families can benefit from a sales tax exemption for food, the legislation must pass the House Appropriations Committee. Contact the members of the committee today and urge them to support removing the sales tax on groceries. Click on a legislator’s name to email him or her.
