HOUSE DEMOCRATS

Ross Elected chairman of Ways and Means

Earlier this week the House Democrats voted to make me chairman of the Ways and Means committee in the House, responsible for tax policy and crafting the biennial budget. I’m pleased that my co-workers believe I am capable of leading the process of creating a budget in these difficult times.

The Finance committee that I chair today was combined with the existing Ways and Means committee.

After the holidays I’ll write more about how we’re going to go about this.
