Topic: Freedom Caucus Chair Mark Meadows says “We Need Tax Reform By August or No Recess”

• Chairman Meadows told attendees at a Heritage Foundation tax event, “We need to get tax reform done sooner (rather) than later and by that we should have a real proposal that we start debating before we leave at the end of July.”

• Meadows negotiated with former Tuesday co-chair Tom MacArthur (R-NJ) to craft the MacArthur amendment. The amendment galvanized enough support for the American Health Care Act (AHCA) to pass through the House. Now, Meadows wants to negotiate a tax reform deal, even if that means getting rid of Congress’s vacation in August.
