A GOP aide owned up today to authoring a provision in a new law that would allow lawmakers to look at any American's income tax return. While the issue has been with us for more than a week--with all sides denying any knowledge as to who authored that provision--we finally get someone to own up to it--on a Friday, of course.
A Republican House aide was the prime mover behind a provision letting more lawmakers look at Americans' income tax returns, a spokesman for the House Appropriations Committee said Friday.
