Greetings,
I am a proud constituent and a mother, and I am writing to you today to thank you for your efforts in eliminating the breast pump tax, and encourage you to make every effort to ensure that the breastpump sales tax elimination contained in the bipartisan budget bill becomes law.
Breast pumps are an essential tool for breastfeeding mothers like me who need to express milk for their babies when they are away from them. However, breast pumps can be costly, with prices ranging from $50 to over $500. For many families here in North Carolina, the cost of a breast pump can be a significant financial burden for working parents.
By eliminating sales tax on breast pumps, we can make this essential tool more affordable for all mothers who want to breastfeed. This tax exemption would benefit enumerable North Carolina families who may struggle with the high cost of breast pumps, while also enabling us to provide nutrients that have been proven to reduce the risks for significant health issues and reducing our risk of certain cancers.
Getting rid of the taxes on breast pumps in North Carolina will lead to healthier children and mothers, as well as have a significant cost savings for our state. I urge you to keep working to include the sales tax exemption for breast pumps intact in the current budget legislation in our great state. Thank you for your service to our community and for your support on this request.
Thank you for your consideration and support!
