Left-Right Agree: Disclose Senate Tax Reform Proposals

August 1, 2013

Dear Senator,

American taxpayers deserve to know the priorities of their elected representatives. That is why we write urging all Senators to disclose on your website any correspondence regarding comprehensive tax reform that you submitted to the Senate Committee on Finance. To date, 18 Senators have made this information available to taxpayers and we applaud them for doing so.

While the undersigned groups do not necessarily have common goals for the outcome of tax reform, we agree that transparency is essential for the final product to have credibility with the public rather than feed cynicism.
                                                                          
Again, we write to urge all Senators to make public all correspondence you have had with the Senate Committee on Finance relating to comprehensive tax reform

Sincerely
