WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) issued the following statement today after the Senate Finance Committee introduced its tax reform plan:

“If we want to grow our economy, keep businesses in America and help families save for their future, we must overhaul our outdated tax code. Today's plan is a critical step toward achieving this goal and providing tax relief for Kansas families and small businesses.

“Our tax code should work for Americans, not against them, which is why I am committed to creating a fairer, pro-growth tax code that helps Kansas families keep more of their paycheck and small businesses grow and create good paying jobs.

“I am pleased tax reform will now go through the open committee and legislative process. The plan introduced today is not the final version, and I encourage all Senators – Democrats and Republicans – to offer input, amendments and collaborate together in this critical moment. We still have work to do, and I look forward to working with my colleagues and listening to Kansans as we work toward a final bill that grows jobs and puts more money back in Kansans’ pockets.”
