Key Senate Finance Committee Members Speak Out In Favor of LIFO Repeal
Some recent developments regarding senators + LIFO repeal.
Senator Cassidy stated that he strongly favors repealing LIFO during a recent meeting with the LIFO Coalition
Despite their efforts to explain the negative economic impact that LIFO repeal would have on companies that use LIFO, Mr. Cassidy appears determined to pursue LIFO repeal as part of the Senate Finance Committee’s effort to find additional revenue sources for the Congressional tax reform proposal.
Companies that use LIFO are key economic components of the communities that they operate within & are extremely influential in the decisions made by Congress, as they often act as the voice of their employees whom their members of Congress represent.
LIFO is at greater risk today than it has been for years & companies located in Louisiana should contact Senator Cassidy in support of LIFO
Sending a letter, email, calling or meeting with Mr. Cassidy’s staff in support of LIFO would be a great help in the effort to preserve LIFO. The LIFO Coalition’s Contact Congress page allows you to send a message that is pre-loaded onto their website that will be sent to Senator Cassidy by simply entering your name, address, and company information (takes about a minute to complete).
Send a message to Senator Cassidy & ask him to preserve LIFO using the LIFO Coalition’s Contact Congress tool:
