Right now, we’ve got long waiting lists, a shortage of qualified providers, shortages of affordable, accessible housing for these programs. And the funding here that’s in this proposal would make it even more difficult for some states to use this HCBS proposal in a flexible way.

The provision in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act helped the brewing industry by lowering its excise tax burden. I’m incredibly pleased with the positive results we have seen over the last few years, which is why I cosponsored the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act and helped lead efforts to make this excise tax relief for America’s brewers and beer importers permanent. I’ll continue working to represent the interests of the Ohioans I represent and the many breweries across the Buckeye State”
