Washington • All four of Utah’s House members backed the GOP tax reform bill that they say will help families and boost the economy but was derided by Democrats as a handout to the wealthy.

The Utah representatives — all Republicans — had nothing but praise for the bill, hailing it as a significant step toward simplifying the tax code and making it fairer.

Rep. John Curtis, a Utah Republican who was sworn into office less than a week after winning the Nov. 7 special election, praised the bill as an “important step” to reduce tax rates for hardworking Utahns and let families keep more of their money.
