Rep. Mike Coffman Talks Tax Plan At Town Hall

AURORA, Colo. (CBS4) - Colorado Congressman Mike Coffman hosted a telephone town hall on Wednesday to talk with constituents about the Republican tax plan on Capitol Hill.

Mike Coffman is a Republican who represents District Six in Colorado, which includes Aurora.

While the Senate and House plans differ, he defended the overall plan to add more than $1.5 trillion to the national debt. He says tax cuts will create economic growth that pays for the plan.

He also pointed to added deductions for individuals and a child care exception as proof of help for the middle and lower classes.
