Baldwin Still Open To Repealing Parts Of The Tax Reform That Is Helping Wisconsin

This morning, Wisconsin’s Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin reiterated her opposition to the tax reform law passed last year and suggested she was open to repealing portions of the tax cuts.

In arguing against the tax bill, Baldwin ignores the tens of thousands of Wisconsinites seeing higher pay checks, bonuses, and new jobs thanks to tax reform.
