The Washington Examiner reports:
Maine Sen. Susan Collins said Monday afternoon that she will vote for the final version of the Republican tax bill, likely guaranteeing that it will pass the upper chamber this week.
“I rise to express my support for the conference agreement on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act,” Collins said in a speech on the Senate floor, outlining amendments she authored that were included in the final bill.
And that’s that.

I hope every reporter who interviews Bob Corker, John Cornyn, Susan Collins, Murkowski et.al. this week asks them if there is anything in the tax bill that benefits their personal, family or business finances. Or their estates. Senators should not get to cash in or out freely.
