U.S. Senate panel advances IRS nominee Billy Long

  • On Tuesday, the Senate Finance Committee approved former Missouri Congressman Billy Long’s appointment to head the IRS in a strict party-line vote of 14-13.
  • President Donald Trump nominated Long late last year, despite concerns over his lack of tax policy experience and ties to firms promoting disputed tax credits.
  • Democrats, led by Ranking Member Ron Wyden, criticized Long for not filing tax policy bills in Congress and associating with firms hawking phony tribal tax credits.
  • Senate Finance Chairman Mike Crapo praised Long as a former six-term GOP lawmaker who followed legal consulting guidelines and denied working for companies selling fake tax credits.
  • The committee’s narrow approval moves Long’s IRS nomination toward a full Senate vote, which has not yet been scheduled amid ongoing partisan debate.
