Zack Space Rejects Child and Marriage Tax Relief for Middle-Class Families

This just in...

Washington- Rep. Zack Space (OH-18) made the wrong choice for his district yesterday when he voted against a motion that would have made the child tax credit and marriage penalty relief permanent. The tax relief Zack Space voted against is critical to the hard-working middle-class families in Ohio's 18th Congressional District, especially at a time of economic uncertainty.

Specifically, Space voted in lock-step with his liberal Democrat leaders to kill a motion that would have permanently done away with the onerous marriage penalty and extended the $1,000 child tax credit (House Roll Call 83).

“Zack Space once again failed the constituents of Ohio's 18th Congressional District and sided with his liberal tax-and-spend leaders in Washington ,” said NRCC Spokesman Ken Spain. “The last thing American families need is a representative who is not willing to stand up for tax relief for hard-working families.”

It is clear that Zack Space's priorities are firmly grounded in the wants of his liberal leadership in Washington . Zack Space will be held accountable by the voters for his vote to reject sensible tax breaks for the families and children who need relief the most.
