South Michigan News: Walberg supports bill extending Trump-era tax cuts

Congressman Tim Walberg of Michigan's 5th District expressed his support for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was passed by the House with a narrow vote of 218-214. The legislation aims to permanently extend tax cuts initially implemented during the Trump administration.

"In November, 77 million people demanded change," stated Rep. Walberg. "Today, House Republicans delivered on that mandate to reverse four years of failed Democrat policies and extend the successful Trump tax cuts, which put more money back into the pockets of working families and empowered small businesses."

The bill includes measures intended to address government spending, border security, national defense, and economic revitalization. According to Rep. Walberg, this legislative effort will prevent a potential 27% tax increase for residents in his district at year's end and could result in an increase of up to $11,700 in take-home pay for a family of four.

"The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is pro-family, pro-worker, and pro-small business," he added. "Today's historic vote represents a promise made and a promise kept to Americans across the country."
