Washington, D.C. –
TechNet, the national, bipartisan network of innovation economy CEOs and senior
executives, welcomed today’s announcement by the House, Senate, and Trump
Administration outlining the way forward on tax reform legislation this
year. The following statement is
attributable to TechNet President and CEO Linda Moore:
“Tax reform has waited
long enough, and we welcome today’s announcement outlining the path forward to finally
get it done this year. We appreciate the
work that the House, Senate, and administration have put into this issue so
far, and thank them for welcoming our perspective on
the best way to promote growth and job creation in the innovation economy. Now the hardest work
begins, and it is essential to seize this opportunity to maximize job creation
and increase investment for sustainable, long-term economic growth.
“The American economy simply
cannot grow at its full potential without a thriving technology sector, just as
the technology sector cannot succeed without the right federal policies in
place. From the perspective of America’s
innovators, there is no single federal policy being considered by Congress and
the administration that holds as much potential to unleash a wave of dynamic
and robust job creation as tax reform. As
the tax debate moves forward, we look forward to being a partner in this
effort.”
