GOP Lawmaker Declares Tax Bill ‘Dead on Arrival’

Rep. Nick LaLota (R-NY) said the GOP’s tax legislation as currently written is “dead on arrival” — and accused his party’s chief tax writer of acting in “bad faith” by proceeding with a proposal for a key tax deduction that didn’t have sufficient buy-in, Politico reports.

Said LaLota: “The bill is dead effectively on the floor.”
