Doggett Speaks on Great Harm of GOP Tax Bill | 2017-12-13 | 2017 | 2017-12 | Democrat | House | TX | Lloyd Doggett | D000399 | doggett.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Tax Policy Subcommittee and a conferee to the House and Senate Conference Committee, criticized both the substance of the Republican tax bill and the secret, rushed way in which it is being enacted. You can view his full remarks here. Rep. Doggett said in part: “The greatest wrong occurring here, what we are seeing today with this authoritarian rule, with the kind of approach much closer to the third-world authoritarian figures that Donald Trump likes to be so close to, is a steady erosion of democracy in the people’s House and in this Congress.” Prior to his remarks, Congressman Doggett made repeated attempts to introduce Motions designed to ensure that Treasury Secretary Mnuchin would come before the Conference Committee and answer questions about the bill. Additionally, Congressman Doggett spoke at a rally of concerned citizens, along with Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senator Sanders, joining hundreds of advocates to condemn the Republican tax bill.
