  Dr. Richard Sims, of the Sierra Institute for Applied Economics, has advised governors and legislators in half a dozen states.In almost every case, those leaders ask whether tax cuts would stimulate the economy.
  
  The answer, Sims said, is no.
  
  "Across the board, lower taxes are associated with lower growth.You can't have high-quality public infrastructure without taxes," he said.
  
  For instance, Sims said the 10 states that spent the most on education in the last 10 years had an average personal per capita income growth of 4.3 percent.The 10 states that spent the least on education had 3.8 percent growth.
  
  Sims noted that about 80 percent of a school district's budget is spent for personnel and nearly all of that money is spent by school employees in the local community or region, creating economic activity.

  Text Box: Dear I am convinced that several economists have evidence that investing in public schools creates more jobs and more improvement in personal income than tax cuts or other spending! Recent studies by Economist Richard Sims use an economic model that predicts 1000 net jobs for each 2% increase in public school spending. I can't think of a better investment of our state's unexpected new revenues. Please increase public school spending by 271 million new dollars, and create 8000 new jobs in New Mexico Sincerely.

He spoke about the problem of regressive taxes, calling state tax systems both "inadequate and inequitable." Sims emphasized that the current movement to more retail sales tax dependence at the state level is making taxes more regressive over time. He proposed some possible solutions to the problem.
