2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2017 Wyden takes a lead role in fi ghting GOP tax plan Wednesday. But just the rough sketches have been enough to turn Wyden into a leading opponent. “Our job right now is to show that what is essentially on offer today is a huge array of goodies and breaks for the people at the top,” Wyden said in an interview in his Capitol Hill offi ce Thursday . The senator argued that GOP leaders and Trump have made so many promises to their wealthy donor base that they have to “dip into the mid- dle-class person’s pockets” to help fi nance it. Wyden said this could be particularly true for Oregon taxpayers because the GOP plan contemplated removing the federal deduction for state and local taxes. A report from the non partisan Government Finance Offi cers Association found that only six states had Ranking Democrat on fi nance panel By JEFF MAPES Oregon Public Broadcasting At a White House meet- ing earlier this month, Presi- dent Donald Trump talked up his proposal for a massive tax cut and then looked down the table to U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden. “I’m sure we’ll have unan- imous support,” said Trump as he pointed to the Oregon sena- tor. “Right, Ron?” Wyden didn’t say any- thing right back, but Trump no doubt knew that the top Dem- ocrat on the Senate Finance Committee would be a tough sell. The full plan is expected to be unveiled in the House on AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, has emerged as a leading critic of the GOP tax plan. a higher percentage of taxpay- ers who take the break than the Beaver State. The uproar in states with relatively high property and income taxes led House Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady, R-Texas, to announce of local leaders and updates on the state Health Policy Board and Coordinated Care Organizations. The meeting will be from 8:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Nov. 7 in the Astoria City Coun- cil chambers. The monthly public meeting of the Oregon Health Policy Board will come to Astoria Nov. 7. The meeting will include a report by the director of the state Health Authority, a panel The Daily Astorian An Astoria man was arrested Friday night follow- ing an alleged drunken-driving crash that damaged the Plaza Jalisco restaurant in Astoria.

Those plans didn’t call for cutting or raising taxes overall. Instead, they called for simplifying the tax code and lowering rates enough that some tax breaks could be trimmed. Wyden argued that this kind of approach could spur steadier economic growth by putting more money in the pockets of mid- dle-class consumers. At the Oct. 18 White House meeting, Wyden said Trump agreed with him that the tax plan should be focused on helping the middle class. But the two clearly appear to have a different idea of how to accomplish that. Alleged drunken driver crashes into restaurant State health policy board to meet in Astoria Nov. 7 The Daily Astorian Saturday that the bill would be amended to allow continued deductions for property taxes. Republicans have chiefl y sold the tax cut as a way to increase economic growth and create more jobs. “We’re going to restore America’s competitive edge,” Trump said at that White House meeting with law- makers, “rebuild America’s middle class — very much aimed at the middle class — and renew the promise of the American dream.” A White House economic analysis says the plan could increase average household income by more than $4,000 a year. Wyden called that “uni- corn economics.” “It’s not going to hap- pen,” Wyden said. “Republi- can economists come to the fi nance committee and say it’s not going to happen.” If the GOP tax cut were to become law, Wyden argued, it could produce a “sugar high” for the economy but would eventually drive up the defi - cit and put more pressure on Medicare and other social programs. ria, was allegedly driving a Chevrolet pickup truck that crashed into the Mexican restaurant at 212 Eighth St. The truck collided with a concrete section separating the restau- rant and Mossy Tel telecommu- nications provider.
