The SALT Road

For millennia, salt roads connected disparate regions and cultures. State and local tax (SALT) is a little like that—it runs through, and affects, just about everything we do. The SALT Road is a free Substack on state and local tax policy, featuring tax policy analysis, news, and maps and charts that organizations are free to use for their own work.

An extension of your team

Whether for a specific project or on an ongoing basis, Walczak Policy Consulting has timely, affordable solutions to help your organization develop and promote competitive, pro-growth policy.
