GENERAL OBJECTION TO TAX CHECKOFF EXPANSION
The income tax system should not be used as a mechanism to solicit donations for private or affiliated organizations. Adding additional checkoffs complicates tax administration and blurs the line between public revenue collection and private fundraising. Charitable contributions are better handled through direct giving, not through the state tax form.
