FALLS CHURCH, Va., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "The state tax area

State Tax Notes.

"States are more frequently revamping their tax systems" for reasons that
include "budget shortfalls, inefficient or outdated tax systems, the desire to
create incentives to attract or appease segments of the business community,
and the elimination of tax loopholes," the authors write in this week's issue.

State Tax Notes is a weekly magazine published by Tax Analysts, the non-profit
provider of tax news and analysis at the state, federal and international
levels. (For more on Tax Analysts, see below.)

"Tax Analysts contributes to the communities that it serves by providing
forums for debate," Christopher Bergin, Tax Analysts' president and publisher,
said in reference to the new column. "We believe that vigorous and informed
discussion produces better tax policy. This column will contribute
significantly to the ongoing debate on state taxation."

Friedman, Borens and Kearns are members of Sutherland's State and Local Tax
(SALT) Practice, consisting of 17 full-time attorneys who focus on planning
and controversy associated with income, franchise, sales/use, unclaimed
property, and property tax matters.

The practice also monitors and comments on state tax legislative and policy
efforts. The attorneys who serve in it will share the duties of producing
Sutherland's monthly column for State Tax Notes.
