CLICK HERE\u00a0To Watch the Congresswoman\u2019s Remarks   The following are Congresswoman Jenkins\u2019 remarks:  \u201cOne of the most important things we can do to encourage economic growth and job creation is to provide certainty and a stable business environment. The tax code is a natural place to start, so businesses and families can plan for their future. And that is what we have been working on for months, a bi-partisan plan to make more important tax provisions permanent including everything from research expenditures, developmental programs, and teacher reimbursements.  \u201cHouse Republicans and Senate Democrats working together to get things done and to deliver real results for the challenges we face. In this environment, in divided government, we nearly had a plan to give some stability to our tax code.  \u201cThen the president spoke, saying it\u2019s my way or the highway issuing a veto threat to our agreement.  \u201cSo, unfortunately, this week, we will pass a band aid so folks at home won\u2019t be hit with unexpected taxes come April. As a CPA who practiced in the tax area I know that this is the bare minimum we can do. This\u00a0 is certainly not the way that federal tax law should be written.  \u201cThe American people spoke and elected America\u2019s new Congress because they are sick of gridlock in Washington. The President clearly didn't get this message.  \u201cIn the next Congress, let\u2019s hope the American people get what they deserve \u2013 a government that is efficient and effective. A government that works. I know that we stand ready to lead, and we hope the President will work with us.\u201d  # # #", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://lynnjenkins.house.gov/press-releases/congresswoman-jenkins-discusses-president-obamas-veto-threat-of-bipartisan-tax-extenders-plan/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9856810793280602, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
