Washington,
DC –
Today,
U.S.
Sen.
Tim
Scott
(R-SC),
member
of
the
House-Senate
Tax
Reform
Conference
Committee,
released
the
statement
below,
following
the
committee’s
announcement
of
the
final
deal
reached
on
a
historic
tax
reform
package.
“It
is
a
good
day
for
the
American
people
–
my
colleagues
and
I
have
put
together
a
package
that
will
ultimately
deliver
much-needed
tax
relief
to
our
middle
class
families
and
boost
our
nation’s
economy,”
Scott
said.
“This
is
our
chance
to
say
to
those
who
haven’t
seen
a
paycheck
increase
in
decades
–
we
hear
you,
and
we
see
you.
With
this
bill,
we
are
helping
single
moms,
like
mine,
by
bolstering
the
Child
Tax
Credit
and
allowing
more
hardworking,
everyday
Americans
to
keep
more
of
their
hard-earned
money.
"I
want
to
thank
my
colleagues
both
on
the
Senate
Finance
Committee
and
the
Conference
Committee
who
worked
through
the
differences,
and
helped
to
create
a
final
version
of
a
tax
bill
that
will,
without
question,
produce
amazing
results.
By
this
time
next
week,
we
are
hopeful
we
will
have
a
bill
on
the
President’s
desk
ready
for
signature,
and
in
2018,
Americans
will
start
to
see
the
tangible
benefits
of
this
breakthrough
agreement.”
The
bill
is
expected
to
be
voted
on
by
both
chambers
of
Congress,
and
will
eventually
land
on
the
President’s
desk
for
final
approval.
