Today,
Congresswoman
Elise Stefanik (R-NY-21), member of the House Committee on Education
and the Workforce, issued the following statement in response
to the news that the White House had reversed its decision to propose new taxes on 529 college savings plans:
“I
am happy President Obama has changed his mind regarding his proposal to
tax college savings plans. These 529 plans are an important
tool to help middle-class families save to attend college, and it would
be misguided to begin discouraging this with new taxes. As a member of
the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, I look forward to
pursuing policies that will help expand access
to higher education and lower the cost so that hardworking North
Country families and students can pursue their dreams.”
