Supporting modern manufacturing and agriculture

Vicky supported legislation creating income-tax credits for qualifying purchases of manufacturing and animal-agriculture machinery and equipment used to automate processes.

Protecting fair oil-tax distribution

Vicky co-sponsored legislation governing the allocation and distribution of oil and gas gross-production and oil-extraction tax revenue.

Keeping the rules clear for oil development
