U.S. Rep. Doug Collins
With the GOP’s tax reform bill passed out of the House of Representatives on Thursday, U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, R-Gainesville, is hoping there’s an opening for criminal justice reform. The Gainesville Republican has not only been a supporter of his party’s tax reform proposal — which has attracted mixed reviews as experts debate whether the complicated proposal cuts or raises taxes and spending in the long term — Collins gaveled in the vote that passed the bill Thursday. The bill now goes to the Senate, where it faces an uncertain future.
