Washington, DC (RI) — Two of Iowa’s US House members were among the Republicans posting messages on social media this past weekend urging Senators to pass President Trump’s tax, spending, and policy package. First District Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks says the bill keeps the tax cuts that Trump approved in 2017 intact, and it provides more funding for border security.
Fourth District Congressman Randy Feenstra of Hull posted eight messages on social media this weekend, touting the proposed tax cuts on tips and overtime that are in the bill.
Feenstra says the bill will virtually eliminate the estate tax by permanently raising the amount someone can inherit — without paying federal taxes — to $15 million.
On Sunday night, Senator Chuck Grassley posted a message online saying he’s been hard at work over the weekend to deliver on Trump’s agenda and prevent the largest tax increase in US history. Senators were debating the bill Sunday night. Trump has said he wants to sign the bill into law by July 4th, if possible.
