I rise to talk briefly about the estate tax and Colorado's agricultural community and small businesses. While I voted in favor of the Middle Class Tax Cut Act, I do not believe that this legislation represents an end to the tax reform debate in Washington. In particular, it is important that we find a bipartisan and responsible path forward on the estate tax that provides the necessary certainty for businesses and families across Colorado. This is vital for Colorado's economy. I am committed to working with my colleagues in Congress to establish an estate tax policy that works for small businesses, family farms and ranches, and all Coloradans. ____________________
