Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell issued the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed a tax relief package aimed at small businesses:



“The House tax relief package aimed at the small businesses most affected by the increase in the minimum wage is a good first step, but we can do much better. While I support the more robust Senate package, I know we can create a stronger bipartisan package that provides meaningful benefits to both those who earn the minimum wage and those who pay it.”
