Dan Freedman and Matthew Hamilton report in the Albany Times Union that Rep. John Faso (R-Kinderhook) continues to lean toward voting 'no' on the Republican tax plan on Dec. 19. "I’m not worried about the politics surrounding this vote," Faso said Dec. 15. "I will make a final decision after reviewing the bill over the weekend and will vote the way I think is right." Faso first voted against the tax bill in November, then voted for it Dec. 4, in a procedural vote to move it to a conference committee. "Actions speak louder than words _ and Faso’s vote to keep this bill alive proves yet again that he won't hesitate to choose Paul Ryan and party elites over working people in NY-19," Gareth Rhodes, one of the Democrats lined up to challenge Faso in 2018, said in a statement earlier this month.
