Take Action
Write Your Member of Congress Today
The Partnership to Build America Act would fund infrastructure projects in the United States without government spending. The bill would allow U.S. companies to bring back overseas earnings at a lower tax rate, then that money would in turn be invested in low-interest bonds, which will be leveraged to $750 billion for infrastructure financing. One of NECA's top legislative priorities is investing in our Nation's infrastructure, and this legislation would help fund needed projects, create jobs, and grow the economy.
Repeal of the burdensome estate tax is also one of NECA's top legislative priorities. NECA believes Congress should support family-owned businesses instead of penalize them. On March 3, NECA-supported H.R. 1105, the Death Tax Repeal Act of 2015, was introduced.
