Vice President Mike Pence Will Be In Phoenix On Tuesday

Vice President Mike Pence will be in Phoenix on Tuesday. Pence will tout the administration’s tax overhaul plan and attend a political reception.

Pence will appear at a roundtable event with Gov. Doug Ducey and local business and community leaders to discuss the need for tax reform.

Pence plans to attend a political reception in the evening and spend the night before leaving the state Wednesday morning. The tax-cut proposal unveiled last week would cut corporate tax rates and double the individual income tax exemption.

The plan also eliminates the estate tax and contains other tax cuts that would benefit the wealthy.
