Today, Congressman Bill Huizenga released the following statement after voting in support of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act:
"Whether it is a small business owner in Kentwood, an apple grower in Hart, or a school teacher in Muskegon, this legislation finally provides West Michigan residents with the tax certainty they have been asking for. Because of the PATH Act: educators will be able to deduct what they spend in their own classrooms; seniors will be able to donate from their IRA to charitable organizations without being penalized by the IRS; small businesses and farmers will have the tax certainty they need to invest, innovate, and create jobs.
"The PATH Act is a positive step forward, but we cannot stop here. We must continue to fight for pro-growth tax reform that will not only improve our economy, but also strengthen the bottom lines of hardworking families throughout West Michigan and across the nation."
