Saying that now is precisely the time that Congress needs to focus on dynamic opportunities for growth in our economy, Idaho Senator Mike Crapo, a senior member of the Senate Finance Committee, Monday said that tax reform being considered in the Senate will help middle and lower-income taxpayers.

The Senate Finance Committee began consideration of its proposed tax reform bill, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, providing members of the Committee an opportunity to deliver an opening statement with continued debate and consideration of amendments on the bill continuing throughout the week.
