Rep. Issa Votes "No" On Tax Reform Package

Statement

Congressman Darrell Issa released the following statement after voting no on the House Republican tax reform package which today was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives:

"I didn't come to Washington to raise taxes on my constituents and I do not plan to start today," said Congressman Issa. "It's disappointing that the bill approved today will not provide the same tax relief to Californians as it does to the rest of the nation. California families are being crushed under the constant barrage of tax increases coming out of Sacramento's tax factory on everything from their everyday purchases, paychecks and yes even their gasoline. Constituents in my district have picked up extra shifts, stayed late, and worked hard only to see less and less of their take-home pay as taxes have skyrocketed across the state. My constituents deserve to see a tax cut too. Before reform reaches the President's desk, I will continue fighting for changes to deliver tax relief for ALL taxpayers -- regardless of where they live."
