This UC Irvine law professor spends an entire paragraph talking about tax provisions in the original bill that would hurt UCI. He has a paragraph about the deduction that was removed for fire victims.\nThen he admits that the offensive items were removed in the final tax bill. Yet, he still uses this in his attack on Mimi Walters. There was no reason to discuss provisions that were not in the final version.\nMimi Walters voted for the final bill that removed these offensive items.\n James Haynes, Irvine\nNot the tax plans fault\nOf Professor Marians column decrying Rep. Mimi Walters vote on tax reform, the professor writes, UC Irvine is one of the biggest employers and one of the countys greatest institutions.\nGood grief. It is an agency of the state of California built and supported in large part by taxpayers. Only in recent years have exorbitant salaries and benefits throughout the UC system forced the cost of tuition skyward causing the particularly acute effect on UCI, the rest of the UC system, students, their families and taxpayers.\n Gerald Dyer, Trabuco Canyon\nTax plan helps me\nRe: Tax plan a lump of coal [Letters, Dec. 27]: Letter writer Elise Power is wrong when she writes that the tax plan is a lump of coal in Americans Christmas stocking. I just estimated my 2018 taxes and my taxes were reduced $800. Im retired and on a fixed income, this was a gold nugget in my stocking.
