NY-22 candidate for Congress, Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi, issued the following statement in response to Rep. Claudia Tenney voting for the GOP tax package:
“Today, the war on working, middle-class individuals, children and seniors is in full force and our own representative, Claudia Tenney, is leading the charge. At a time when the country is calling for bipartisanship, the hard right just passed a one sided tax bill to mostly benefit their wealthy donors. This tax bill blows a $1.5 trillion hole in the deficit, and hikes taxes on working families in order to slash taxes on the richest Americans and the biggest corporations. While Ms. Tenney’s donors are pleased, seniors better watch their back because Paul Ryan and D.C. interest groups are coming for Medicare and Social Security next.”
