Government Strategies:
Maureen/John/Matt
Discussion: HB 3065 is ready for
witness slips. Constitutional Amendment 1 passed on May 27th the
Progressive Income Tax. Rates not specified within the Amendment however, SB
687 is being discussed for income and corporations within this section. 6% tax
credit for property taxes and child tax credit. An increase in the Governor’s
budget does acknowledge the need of the additional funding to afford the
minimum wage increase.
Committee Reports
Social
Isolation: Marla Fronczak- Taken content from
elder brochures from one year ago. First attempt at social isolation, previous
call in April, discussion of the statewide initiative and using Engaged.
Focuses on using UCLA loneliness scale. Thought we were on track towards the
engaged rather than the expanding your circle. Take away from the committee a) if
we can agree on the name for the campaign (4 choices given) b) IDoA ready to
move forward and I4a can offer direction/brochure/names and brochure
information. Michael Drew brought forth the focus of, who is our audience.
Engaged brochure is more directed towards an older adult. I4a really just needs
to give direction.
