Legislative PrioritiesEach year, in addition to our work to promote fair progressive tax and budget policies, MECEP identifies specific legislative objectives: measures we will work with legislators and our progressive partners to propose and advance, bills we will seek to modify to make them more effective in promoting economic justice, and legislative initiatives that we will work with legislators and allies to defeat in order to protect the interests of families and our values of fairness and shared prosperity. A key component of this effort is the testimony we provide to legislative committees.
