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

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

a higher percentage of taxpay-

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 meeting will include a report by the

Wyden said he would be
happy to work with the Trump
administration on a bipartisan
tax plan more along the lines
of those he has sponsored
in the past with Republican
senators.
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.

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.

crashed into the Mexican

truck collided with a concrete
section separating the restau-

damage, and a large window
was destroyed at the restaurant.

charged with driving under the
