Rep. Larson Pitches $1.8T Infrastructure Bill
Rep. John Larson (D-CT) has announced that he will introduce a 10-year, $1.8 trillion infrastructure package funded by a carbon tax.

Municipalities Experiencing Growing Pains with GASB 77

Next Level Fund to Create Venture Capital for IN Entrepreneurs

But the mechanics to make that happen still need to be worked out—and many entrepreneurs and venture capitalists have strong feelings about approaches the state should embrace and avoid.

Why Main Street Doesn't See More Historic Tax Credit Financing
One strategy to meet threat of possible elimination of the federal historic tax credit (HTC) is legislation both houses have introduced, the Historic Tax Credit Improvement Act (HTCIA).
