Matthew Hamilton is reporting at Capitol Confidential U.S. Rep. John Faso said in a telephone town hall Tue., Nov. 14, he remains undecided about how he will vote on the Republican tax overhaul plan. The House is expected to take up its version of the legislation later this week. “The biggest problem I have with this bill is from a federalism standpoint,” the first-term Kinderhook Republican said. “… The taxes that people pay to the state and local governments, subjecting those taxes to what is in essence double taxation.” Later in the conversation Faso added he was not satisfied with the bill. “There are a lot of pieces in it that I do like, but there’s some glaring pieces that I don’t like,” he said.
