Bond backs tax relief plan at discussion

The discussion starts at 12:30 p.m. in the Patterson West Boardroom of O’Reilly Auto Parts, 233 S. Patterson.

Bond points to statewide and nationwide job creation as a result of the plan, which he says prevents tax hikes and spurs growth.

“We are seeing the result of tax cuts enacted by Congress that allow families to keep more of what they earn,” Bond said in a news release. “To keep the economy moving forward, Congress needs to continue to support pro-growth policies and resist raising taxes.”

After the discussion, Bond will stop at 3:30 p.m. in Cape Girardeau, and at 10 a.m. Thursday, he will visit Columbia. He also has stops planned in St. Joseph, Kirksville, Hannibal and St. Louis later this week. He visited Joplin this morning.
