U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Wheaton says he intends to support what the media has dubbed “tax reform 2.0,” a measure that would make permanent and somewhat extend the individual tax cuts adopted on a partisan vote last year. Ryan told reporters he wants a vote by the end of the month, with the bill expected to make permanent a $10,000 limit on the state and local tax deduction that has clobbered some taxpayers in higher-tax states, including Illinois.
