WASHINGTON– U.S. Sens. Mark Warner (D-Va.), former Governor of Virginia; Tom Carper (D-Del.), former Governor of Delaware; and Angus King (I-Maine), former Governor of Maine, today released the following statement:

“As former governors, we care deeply about closing the tax gap and making sure everyone is paying their fair share. Misconceptions of what the financial reporting proposal would do should not derail us from this important goal. We are committed to working with our colleagues to address any concerns with proposals to close the tax gap and to make sure that wealthy taxpayers and corporations pay the taxes that they have the ability to pay and legally owe.”
