This is really cool, congratulations to Congressman - I love saying that - Perriello!
Congressman Tom Perriello announced that his first bill – the “American Opportunity Tax Credit” to provide a $2,500 tax credit for higher-education – was included in the final conference report of H.R. 1, which passed the House today. The provision, which he co-authored with Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas, will provide urgent relief to four million American working families and displaced workers.
“This tax credit puts money into the economy today and invests in our workforce for tomorrow. There are no shortcuts to regaining America’s competitive advantage. I believe this tax credit is one of the smartest investments we can make to give enterprising Americans the opportunity to gain new skills and become competitive in this tough job market, while getting our national economy out of the dumps,” said Perriello.
With that, Tom Perriello has already accomplished more for the people of his district than Virgil Goode did in years. Thank you, 5th CD voters, for putting your trust in Tom!
