Arizona Rep. Grijalva Participating In Today's Conference Committee On Tax Bill

Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-CD3) is participating in today's Conference Committee on the Republicans' tax bill. He is the only Arizonan involved in the committee.

Grijalva's involvement is due to his role as the highest ranking Democrat on the House's Natural Resources Committee. In addition to the tax-related provisions, the Senate version of the bill also includes a provision opening up Alaska's Arctic National Wilderness Refuge.

As the Conference Committee started, Grijalva tweeted his disapproval of how the Republicans are handling the conference.

Moments ago, Republicans announced a deal on the #taxbill....which is weird since the conference committee that is supposed to come up with the final product just started its meeting...hum 🧐 #GOPTaxScam pic.twitter.com/tyeMwrXUHh
