Thank you for subscribing to my weekly e-newsletter, and please remember to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
Tax Reform & Opportunity Zones I was happy to see more great news on the recent tax reform & the Investing in Opportunity Act last week, highlighted in these two articles: The Washington Examiner shared that “Opportunity sprouts in impoverished areas, thanks to Tax Reform”, and highlighted my Investing in Opportunity Act’s “Opportunity Zones” initiative: “If they work, Opportunity Zones can be the difference between an America where too many get left behind and one where the benefits of our prosperity can truly be shared by all.” My colleague, Senator Chuck Grassley, also shared a piece on how the Investing in Opportunity Act is sowing seeds of hope across America: “Opportunity Zones will give struggling areas a needed financial boost to sow seeds of prosperity and restore vitality to their neighborhoods by filling in their missing pieces of the puzzle.” Grow with Google Last Wednesday, I joined small business owners, students, jobseekers, and developers at Grow with Google in Columbia. It was such a great opportunity for community members to grow their skills, careers, and businesses using Google's free training and tools. I'm excited to see the benefit it will have in Columbia and beyond!
Around the State On Thursday, I joined our nation in celebrating the National Day of Prayer. I know firsthand that prayer is powerful, and I was honored to be at the Naval Weapons Station in Charleston that afternoon. Thank you to all Americans who joined us in praying for unity across our nation.
I was also happy to have the opportunity to speak at Bob Jones University’s commencement ceremony on Friday. Congratulations to all of the graduates on a job well done!
Sincerely,
Tim |
