Senate Sets Early Tax Cut Plan in Senate Strategy
Washington Republican leaders moved a $4.7 billion tax cut bill for action next week. The Senate Finance Committee backed the measure 20 to 2 reducing the tax cut from the House bill, aiming to win Democratic votes to pass over a presidential veto. The plan retains the general structure with percentage cuts by income level, though the Senate trims the total. The bill would enact 12.6 percent to 7.4 percent to 5 percent relief across income ranges, aligning with the House framework with one major reduction. Concluded on Page 16, Calan.
