CUNA President and CEO Cheney on Camp Tax Reform Draft
(February 20, 2014) — CUNA President & CEO Bill Cheney released the following statement after news that Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Dave Camp announced plans to draft tax reform:
“For the past nine months, CUNA, Leagues and credit unions have been contacting members of Congress and urging them “Don’t Tax My Credit Union.” After more than 1.3 million contacts with lawmakers, we’re hopeful that our message got through. Regardless of what is contained for credit unions, if anything, in Chairman Camp’s plan next week, we will continue to defend the credit union tax exemption — because it’s all about our structure as not-for-profit, cooperative financial institutions that exist to provide service to their members.”
