White House officials outlined what one of them called an “aggressive” timetable Monday for getting a tax overhaul in place before the end of the year.
A top White House legislative aide said the plan for a tax code rewrite is to start hearings and a markup of the bill after Labor Day so a version can get through the House in October and the Senate in November. He also said a 2018 budget resolution -- the first step to get a tax bill passed without Democratic support -- would be agreed upon in September or October.
