The Tax Foundation has awarded Gov. Mike Pence with the 2013 Outstanding Achievement in State Tax Reform award.
He and five others were tapped as honorees due to their extraordinary efforts to advance the cause of simpler, smarter tax policy in the previous year.
Pence fought for and received a modest income tax reduction in 2013 while maintaining the state’s scheduled reduction in corporate taxes and elimination of the inheritance tax. Building on the administrative reform work of his predecessor Gov. Mitch Daniels, Pence has sought further business tax reforms, continued budget restraint, and a determination to make Indiana more attractive to investment and growth, a press release said.
The other winners are Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, North Carolina Senator Phil Berger, Ohio activist Ron Alban and Wisconsin Representative Dale Kooyenga.
