The Democrat seeking to unseat Utah’s seven-term Sen. Orrin Hatch says the massive tax reform bill the Republican pushed through Congress this week is a gift for only the wealthiest on Santa’s Christmas list and a lump of coal for the state’s poor and working families.
“Merry Christmas everyone,” Jenny Wilson said at a new conference Thursday morning. “I’m sorry to report the Grinch has arrived and the Grinch is Orrin Hatch.”
On Wednesday, Congress passed a $1.4 trillion overhaul of the U.S. tax code. As chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Hatch played a major role in its drafting and shepherded the legislation through to passage.
