Neugebauer Statement on Tax Extenders Package

WASHINGTON – Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX) released the following statement after voting in favor of H.R. 5771, the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014:

“Today I joined my colleagues in the House to support the extension of many important tax provisions that benefit individuals, small businesses, and the overall health of the economy. The extension of Section 179 and bonus depreciation are especially important to hardworking farmers, ranchers, and small business owners in the 19th District of Texas.

“To get the full economic benefits of these tax provisions and generate greater certainty for all Americans, Congress should focus on permanent tax policy that overhauls our tax code for individuals and businesses. Moving forward, the President must work with Congress instead of issuing veto threats to bipartisan negotiations before they even conclude. This is the work that must be done to jumpstart our economy.”
