Reed pleased with progress on Tax Code reform work...

Local congressman Tom Reed says he's excited that a work group of the House Ways and Means Committee he's been part of is finishing up work on major revisions to the nation's tax code.  Reed says the panel... headed up by Committee Chairman Dave Camp... has been working for three years on revising and simplifying the 70,000 page tax code.  The Corning republican adds that residents of the 23rd Congressional District would save -- on average -- $600 each on their tax returns with the changes.  He calls that "real money" that people would hold onto and not have to pay for the aggravation of getting their taxes done.
