Stoel Rives Partner Talks Fundamental Tax Reform Under the Trump Administration

MINNEAPOLIS (May 2017) - Stoel Rives tax partner Gregory F. Jenner spoke to Minneapolis business leaders at the Westin Minneapolis on May 16 at an event sponsored by Stoel Rives. With 10 years combined experienced at the Treasury Department and on Capitol Hill, Jenner shared his insights and experience in legislative, tax policy, and budget processes.

During the discussion, Jenner reflected on the 1986 tax reform effort and the lessons that can be drawn from that successful effort. He also explained the various tax plans under consideration, as well as the political and procedural obstacles facing the Congress.
