Donovan bucks GOP, votes no on tax plan
‘The math just doesn’t add up,’ Congressman says
When the House of Representatives voted 227-205 on Thursday in favor of a landmark bill to overhaul the nation’s tax system, the lone Republican in New York City’s Congressional delegation decided to buck his party and vote against the legislation.
U.S. Rep. Dan Donovan (R-Bay Ridge-Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island) was one of only 13 Republicans in the House to vote against the bill. All of the Democrats in the House voted “no.”
Donovan released a statement explaining his vote.
