Jeff New and Mike Adelizzi Address Member Issues With Government Partners
One meeting was with ASA’s long time ally, Representative Wally Herger (R-CA). Rep. Herger is an influential member of the House Ways and Means Committee, the Committee with jurisdiction over tax issues. The ASA leaders talked candidly with the Congressman about the importance of including in any stimulus package “bonus depreciation” for investments made in 2008. A recent survey of ASA members on economic stimulus plans indicated this is the top issue for ASA members. Rep. Herger has been ASA’s champion on “bonus depreciation” and during the meeting he was thanked for all his efforts. He urged ASA to continue pressing the Senate to pass the House-passed stimulus package.
