WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Joe Donnelly released the following statement Wednesday (Dec. 2) after the House passed legislation permanently extending the existing middle class tax cuts.

“I’ve said from the beginning of this debate that we need to make the tax cuts for the middle class permanent,” said Donnelly. “That’s why I voted for the bill on the House floor today. I’ve also said that we should extend the cuts for the higher-wage earners for a year or two while our economy continues to recover."

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today (Dec. 1), Congressman Joe Donnelly released the following statement in response to the Pentagon study group’s report on repealing the military’s current policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell” in the United States Armed Forces.

“When I voted against repeal in May, I did so because the Pentagon study group was still working on its assessment of the impact of a possible lifting of the ban,” said Donnelly. “I said at the time that I wanted to be sure that repealing ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ would not negatively impact military readiness, effectiveness, cohesion, recruiting and retention, or family readiness. Today’s report confirms that repealing the current law can be done with little or no risk to any of these critical military objectives.
