"We’re not seeing the ads on it,” National Taxpayers Union spokesperson Mattias Gugel said. “And so honestly, it can catch a lot of people off guard because you don’t have the big campaigns, you don’t have the big spending happening on a lot of these direct initiatives.”
@mattiasgugel on why voters need to do their research on state and local ballot initiatives before voting.

Early detection and treatment of dementia saves taxpayers from paying for long-term memory care later, according to a new study in @alzdemjournals.
Effective healthcare is also effective fiscal policy. Innovative drug therapies and diagnostics can help bend the cost curve of Alzheimer's care for taxpayers.

After looking at the 2025–26 cycle, @NTUStateAffairs has a modest suggestion for next year’s agenda—leave a few things buried.

Unemployment insurance fraud: Beetlejuice is not proof of identity.
It’s now showtime for legislators to leave behind their blind eyes to fraud. We’ve recommended UI data matching between states and our Payroll Tax Toolkit lays out further eligibility requirements, including matching death records and finding suspicious payment patterns. The government should be able to distinguish a worker who needs help from someone borrowing a dead person’s identity.
So, next session, taxpayers need to keep pushing for sunlight. What will this cost? Who will pay? Are there unintended consequences that aren’t in a politician’s press release?

Good insight from NTU Board Member Steve Forbes about keeping the COINS Act focused strictly on national security threats.
Overbroadening outbound investment bans to the biopharmaceutical industry could harm U.S. security and hand a competitive edge to Europe, whose industry is already plagued by big government.
The COINS Act rightly targets investments that could strengthen China's military capabilities. Expanding restrictions broadly to biopharma risks driving valuable drug discoveries to European competitors instead of U.S. companies. That's not protecting American leadership.

"State lawmakers should reform tangible personal property laws so they're uniform, neutral, simple, and stable," Pete Sepp, President of National Taxpayers Union said. "Data centers are the manufacturing plants of the information age, and our laws should reflect that reality with equal treatment."
