Tis the Season for ...
Tax Extenders?
This week, Congress renewed many important tax provisions in time for the upcoming tax season, like continued charitable deductions, business depreciations for major new purchases like a tractor for the family farm or machine upgrades in a manufacturing plant, and the new markets tax credit that has spurred much of the redevelopment in Over-the-Rhine in Cincinnati.
Yes, there are special interest carve outs too, for things like car-racing tracks, electric tricycles, and race horses, but I agree with Grover Norquist and Americans for Tax Reform when they say “the good clearly outweighs the bad here.”
Next year, with a Republican Senate, I believe we will be able to make long term reforms that will give businesses and families the certainty they need when it comes to budgeting for taxes. Ultimately, you deserve a tax code that is simpler, fairer, flatter, and more in tune to the 21st century economy.
Tell me what YOU think. I've listed every tax provision (all 55), and I want to hear which deductions you would keep.

Christmas at the Capitol
|
Tuesday evening, lawmakers, special guests, and spectators gathered at the foot of the Capitol Building for the 2014 Capitol Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. This year's tree was hauled to the Capitol on a Kenworth truck made right here in Ohio's Second District!
For more info on this specially-designed truck, check out this article in The Chillicothe Gazette, Chillicothe Truck Hauls Christmas to Washington.

A Secretary's Dilemma
|
Chuck Hagel had a tough job – carrying out this Administration’s flawed policies as Secretary of Defense. It’s clear there was growing tension between Secretary Hagel and the Administration’s directives, direction, and increasing micro-management.
Our troops, and the nation, deserve someone who is able to understand, implement, and freely articulate a comprehensive strategy to combat the serious threats we face, from ISIS to Russia, to threats still on the horizon. |
Internship Opportunities
My office is now accepting applications for 2015 Spring Internships. Opportunities include part-time and full-time opportunities in Ohio and Washington DC. While academic credit may be obtained, many students do the internships strictly for the educational experience. Applicants must be enrolled in college or graduate school.
If you know of a student who might be interested in interning in my district offices during the Spring semester, please encourage them to apply.
