WASHINGTON -- The National Tax Limitation Committee has honored Congressman Petri with its 108th Congress “Tax Fighter Award.”

NTLC President Lewis K. Uhler announced presentation of the award to Congressman Petri in Washington, DC, saying “Petri’s votes on tax and spending issues in the 108th Congress earned him an ‘A’ grade and the Tax Fighter Award. Tom Petri has led the battle on behalf of taxpayers in his Wisconsin district and across America to make the Bush tax cuts permanent, to eliminate the death tax, to provide incentives for private savings, investments and job creation and to control the growth of federal spending.

“Congressman Petri’s constituents can be particularly pleased and proud because he has the distinction of having a consistent pro-taxpayer voting record during his 26 years in Congress,” concluded Uhler.
