Opinion
Here's what it covers and what it doesn’t.
State
Alabama will now join the 47 other states, including our border states of Florida, Georgia and Tennessee, that do not fully tax groceries.
Opinion
This small change likely will result in large savings for Alabamians who are working hard to make ends meet.
Opinion
Work still lies ahead as I am determined and fully committed to abolishing the grocery tax altogether.
Legislature
The legislation should reduce the current tax rate on food in Alabama over the next couple of years.
Featured Opinion
Ainsworth didn't have to take on the grocery tax. But he did. And all Alabamians will benefit because of it.
Legislature
The bill would reduce the current 4 percent tax rate on food to 2 percent over the next couple of years
Featured Opinion
Bills repealing the overtime tax and the grocery tax are very popular among voters. One man is in the way of their passage.
