Thane Brooks operates a resource center for children with special needs in Alpharetta, Georgia. Because businesses can now immediately expense new equipment purchases, Thane is able to open a second facility to serve even more special needs children.

AT&T, with nearly 3,000 employees in the Sixth District, gave a $1,000 bonus to nonmanagement employees as a direct result of the tax cut bill. Overall, more than 2 million workers across the country are feeling the benefits of this law through increased wages, bonuses, and more retirement dollars. And with paychecks for nearly every American set to increase in the coming weeks, there is even more good news on the horizon for American families. ____________________
