The Committee has stated the following primary goals in PLAN’s strategic plan:
- First: Achieve an equitable, stable and progressive tax structure by protecting
the gains we’ve already made in tax fairness and by fighting tax and government spending restriction gimmicks such as the Taxpayers Bill Of Rights (TABOR)
ballot initiative and Proposition 13-style Property Tax Cap ballot initiatives. Ultimately we would like to implement alternative progressive tax legislation and
constitutional amendments.
- Second: Achieve economic justice for more Nevadans including livable wage
jobs, and safe, clean and non-discriminatory work places, thereby improving the
standards of all Nevadans by building on the successes of our 2001 Employment
Non-Discrimination Act adding sexual orientation to protected categories in
employment, and the 2006 passage of the minimum wage initiative raising the
state minimum wage $1.00 above the federal minimum wage.
- Third: Work to move people out of poverty by adopting specific initiatives
to strengthen income support systems and to improve availability and access to
services, including greater access to health care coverage, job training and education, affordable housing, child care, transportation assistance and protecting a
woman’s right to reproductive choice.
- Finally: Train social service providers and community leaders in tax and budgetary policy to build a well-informed and actively engaged constituency to promote these progressive economic goals.
