Nat'l Tax Reform Tour Heads Through Minnesota

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Washington lawmakers are touring the country to get input on reforming the tax code.

The tour kicked off in Minnesota Monday morning as U.S. Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., and U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., talked to employees at 3M and Baldinger Bakery in St. Paul.

Camp and Baucus are looking for input on how to reform the tax code because they think it's too complicated. The last major tax code return happened in 1986.

"Tell us how to make this tax code work in a way that's better for you and your family," Camp said.

The tour will include stops at big businesses as well as locally-owned shops.

A website has also been set up to take public input on the reform.
