Trouble, right here in River City
It sounds like the GOP tax scam whip count isn’t going according to plan. The Washington Post reports that both Senators Rubio and Lee have major concerns with the conference report (which none of us have seen)—so much so that Rubio is threatening to vote against it. Read the highlights here:
“Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) has informed Senate leaders he intends to vote against the Republicans’ $1.5 trillion tax plan unless it includes a larger expansion of a child tax credit, according to a Senate GOP source.”
“Rubio and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) proposed a change to expand the tax credit as part of the tax bill that passed the Senate, but the plan was opposed by GOP leadership and voted down.”
“Lee is undecided on whether to support the bill, according to a Lee spokesperson.”
