Con. Res. 71, the Concurrent Budget Resolution for Fiscal Year 2018 \u2013 Alaska Congressman Don Young shared the following statement:\u00a0\u00a0 \r\n\u00a0\r\n\u201cA fairer, simpler tax code \u2013 not one riddled with loopholes and exemptions \u2013 will benefit a vast majority of Alaskans and Americans and help spur a level of economic growth and activity not seen in this country for years,\u201d said Congressman Don Young. \u201c I\u2019ve long pushed to reform our outdated and over complicated tax system with something more in tune with American values and ideals. This effort, born out of a need to drive our economy to new heights and repair a competitive edge that once made this nation so great, is far from over. As we move forward -- and the House and Senate prepare to come together to reconcile our differences -- I remain vigilant in my resolve to protect Alaskan workers, middle class families and small businesses. This is a critical juncture for our nation, one that works to unlock ANWR\u2019s vast energy potential and generate new wealth and growth that will benefit Americans for generations to come. As we saw yesterday, ANWR continues to be a driving force in our efforts to move this legislation forward. I\u2019ve fought this fight for over 40 years, I intend to see it through.\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": ["http://donyoung.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=399063"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.008498879149556, "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"}
