After just 12 hours, a new website launched by House Ways andMeans Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) and Senate Finance Chairman MaxBaucus (D-Mont.) to gather tax reform input from the public hasreceived more than 1,000 submissions, according to the duo'sTwitter account.
|“No need to travel to Washington. Through the use of socialmedia, we want all Americans to participate directly,” Camp andBaucus said on the site, www.taxreform.gov.
|In addition to collecting comments, the site also provides alist of past hearings on tax reform and documentation related totax reform from both committees, such as the report from Working Groups submitted to the Ways and MeansCommittee May 6.
|CUNA Executive Vice President of Governmental Affairs RyanDonovan said upon the release of that report that tax reform couldpotentially be packaged with legislation to raise the debt ceiling,and a bill could pass the House as early as the end July.
|In April, Baucus announced he would retire and not seek re-election in 2014, which could addfurther urgency on the Senate side to approve a tax reformbill.
