Washington, D.C. – Today Rep Walberg voted in favor of H.R. 45 to repeal the President's health care law.
Rep Walberg released the following statement:
The bill proposed by U.S. Reps. Tim Walberg, R-Tipton, and Dan Kildee, D-Flint Township, would increase from $2,000 to $10,000 a year the amount families can invest in Coverdell Savings Accounts for higher education.
The legislation would also increase the age of eligibility to withdraw amounts from the accounts from 18 to 22.
Michigan's economic growth is directly related to how well we educate our children, and how well we train our workforce for today's, and tomorrow's, jobs.
Washington, D.C. - Rep Walberg voted in favor of H.R. 882, the Contracting and Tax Accountability Act, to restore accountability within our tax system. Specifically, the legislation bans seriously tax delinquent companies from receiving new federal contracts.
"This bill will help bring greater accountability to Washington, but ultimately we must pass comprehensive tax reform to create a fairer, simpler tax system that will grow a healthier economy," commented Rep Walberg following the votes.
