Caucus 8.7.12: Tax Reform Legislation

First Tuesday of the month coming next week, which means one thing: Caucus. 7:30pm - 9:00pm @ Jade Garden.

Chris Kagi will be moderating our discussion that will tackle issues of tax reform. Per Chris:

In every election year taxes are a big issue and it is clear with the deficit reduction requirements that are coming it will take center stage with the economy.   For the August Caucus we will be discussing the pros and cons of different tax structures and the conversations in DC that may change the current system or keep it in place.
