Dear fellow South Carolinians,
Thank you for subscribing to my weekly e-newsletter, and please remember to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. Tax Reform Last week the Senate passed our tax reform bill - a historic win for hardworking Americans. The passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act marks a major milestone in finally reforming a tax code that hasn’t been overhauled since 1986.
This was always about finding an American solution for American families. It is about helping the average person in this country keep more of their hard-earned income. It makes sure single mothers - like my own who worked 16-hour days to take care of her family - get a better deal under our tax plan.
We ensure small business owners, running ‘mom and pop’ shops, have an easier time expanding and creating even more jobs right in their own communities. Our bill also makes sure the jobs of the future are created right here in America.
Now, we are one step closer to starting the New Year off with a tax code that the American people both need and deserve. You can watch my speech on the Senate floor before our vote Friday night here, and read my full statement on the passage here. Visiting Chester County I had a great time touring the new GiTi Tire plant in Chester County yesterday. Earlier this year, GiTi Tire announced plans to hire up to 1,700 workers over the next decade to work at the $560 million, 1.6 million square ft. mega plant. It was great to see an example of the future of manufacturing in South Carolina!
Sincerely, Tim
