This is all fine and dandy. But why donï¿½t you guys have it so that the military that lives in Utah and pays Utah taxes on their military paychecks a break. Allow them not to pay state taxes on military pay.

Thank you for thinking of us. We don't need charity, but these bills will provide a measure of thanks to veterans who have served our country.

I know we all ready get a partical break on our retired paychecks here in utah; however there are many oter states that don't tax any retired military pay. This was a very big concideration when I retired come home to utah or retire some where else. Still thinking of moving to another state for this reason only.
