Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell on IRS Review of Tax-Exempt Applications

by Naph on March 24, 2014

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) spoke on the Senate floor about legislation he was planning to offer the next week that would block proposed Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations from going into effect. The rules proposed by the IRS would prevent certain organizations that applyed for tax-exempt status from engaging in various political activities. The rules were in response to allegations that the IRS targeted conservative groups applying for tax exempt status between 2010 and 201 for extra scrutiny.
