Voice Vote Advances Tax Overhaul Through Senate Clearance
House approves a broad tax reform bill by voice vote despite a GOP bid to send it back to committee. The plan cuts taxes for most Americans, would remove over 6 million low income families from the tax rolls, and lowers top personal and corporate rates while expanding deductions and protections for state and local taxes and mortgage interest. The Senate will take up the measure after the Christmas recess as Reagan pushes for a reshaped bill.
