Dear Georgian,

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and thanks to policies enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), small businesses have received more support than ever.

However, the TCJA is set to expire in 2025, which could be detrimental to many businesses across the country. I cosponsored the Main Street Tax Certainty Act, which will make the policies under the TCJA permanent law to ensure that small businesses continue to get the support they need.

As always, my staff and I are here to help. If you need assistance with a federal agency or have comments or concerns to share with me, please do not hesitate to call my Warner Robins, Tifton, or Washington, D.C. offices. To receive frequent updates, I encourage you to visit my website, like my Facebook page, follow me on YouTube, and follow me on Twitter.

Keep reading for the full update.

Sincerely,

Congressman Austin Scott

Just the News | ‘Reprehensible.' Congress skewers Biden education chief for email to students attacking SCOTUS

"President Joe Biden's education chief sent a mass email to student loan borrowers claiming the Supreme Court erred in striking down the cancellation of their debt, a fresh attack on the integrity of the justices that generated an instant rebuke from Congress...

Georgia Republican Rep. Austin Scott condemned what he said was disrespect for the Supreme Court, saying Biden effectively reneged on the debt limit deal with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy by claiming he was resuming student loan payments then abruptly offering a new plan to forgive the debt."
