State treasurer says Trump tax proposal is a step in the right direction

(From State Treasurer Eric Schmitt)

Missouri State Treasurer Eric Schmitt released the following statement today in response to President Trump’s tax reform speech in Springfield, Missouri:

“Having worked to pass two of the largest tax cuts in Missouri history, I know the importance of enacting tax reform that spurs economic growth and expands opportunity. President Trump’s proposal to reduce the tax burden on businesses, simplify our overgrown tax code and provide relief for working families is a step in the right direction toward revitalizing Main Street and increasing take-home pay for hardworking taxpayers.”
