Victim meant everything to the people of this block. He was dedicated to this block. And his family and his home and everything. For someone to go and in literally just kill him like this, i really i dont believe t im in shock. Honestly. Reporter and at this time police have not announced if there are any suspect, this is very early in this investigation, homicide detectives still remain out here at the scene along with the crime scene unit they could be out here for several hours. If anyone has information 215686tips. Thank you. The house of representatives has effectively passed the tax overhaul bill but there say late word that a couple of provisions including the use of 29 savings plans for home schooling will have to be removed because they violate senate rules and the senate will vote later tonight and the house has to vote again tomorrow. But the house had its say today. The vote was basically along party lines with a dozen blue state republicans voting no along with every democrat. The final vote was 227203. Action News Reporter sara bloomquist is live in Plymouth Meeting tonight and has a primer on the new tax structure and what folks are saying about all of this. Jim, we talked to shoppers at the metroplex this afternoon. This bill is known to be widely unpopular and we found that people were flat out against it or confused by it. We asked the local cpa for some perspective. People were thinking about todays vote in congress to overhaul the tax bill. They could have done more for the working people. I am confused and i dont trust, im afraid, what is happening. It does impact a majority of the american population. Cpa jennifer says that americans will see increases in their paychecks come february. The standard deduction is doubled and those that itemize will lose deductions. If we look at taxable income we have less taxes but manipulated things on how you get to your taxable income and that is the other piece of the puzzle that could end up hitting you the wrong way. For example the bill scales back a popular deduction for state and local taxes capping it at 10,000 and doubles the Child Tax Credit for families maybing up to 400,000 and slashes the Corporate Taxes from 35 to 21 . They will pocket that money rather than hire someone. I think from a Global Competitive standpoint well see some benefit from that. Now, its Corporate Tax cut is permanent but the individual cuts expire in 2026 according to a congressional review, more americans would see their taxes go up the very next year in 2027 if these cuts for individuals are not extended.
