Taxpayer Protection Pledge

Citizen Outreach > Taxpayer Protection Pledge

The Taxpayer Protection Pledge is a commitment designed to promote fiscal responsibility among elected officials and candidates. It is a promise that individuals who sign it will oppose any tax increases that would lead to a net increase in government funding. This pledge is rooted in the belief that taxpayers should not bear the burden of additional taxes and that government should operate within its existing budgetary constraints. As Nevada’s “Keeper of the Pledge,” Citizen Outreach plays a critical role in not only encouraging candidates to sign the Taxpayer Protection Pledge but also in holding them accountable once they are elected. The organization actively monitors the actions and decisions of elected officials to ensure they adhere to the commitments made in the pledge. By standing against tax hikes, Citizen Outreach aims to foster a government that prioritizes efficiency and accountability, ensuring that taxpayer dollars are utilized judiciously. The initiative promotes a tax policy that supports economic growth and preserves the interests of citizens, emphasizing that any increases in funding should come from improved governance rather than higher taxes. The Taxpayer Protection Pledge serves as a key tool for maintaining fiscal discipline among elected representatives, emphasizing a commitment to the taxpayers and advocating for policies that prevent unnecessary tax burdens on the public.
