Tax reform legislation in Washington poses a grave threat to our cities, our constituents and our economy. Local elected officials are standing up to stop this harmful bill from becoming law in its current form.

Here are the basics:

· 87 million middle and working class class families see their taxes increase.
· $25 billion in cuts to Medicare could mean higher premiums and lower quality of care.
· Eliminating deductions for state and local taxes could result in cuts to state and city services.
· 13 million people lose health coverage.
· 62% of all benefits go to the richest 1%, not the middle class.
