As of now, the state income tax bracket is:

2% - First $12,500
4% - Next $37,500 (up to $50,000)
6% - Earnings beyond $50,000

The proposed tax bracket would look like:

2% - First $12,500
4% - Next $12,500 (up to $25,000)
6% - Earnings beyond $25,000

Bracket ranges are doubled for joint filers.

So... they essentially want to raise taxes on people making between $25K and $50K?

Okay?
