NUMBER OF THE WEEK: 0
The number of seats available at the start of this
morning's Tax Policy Center panel discussion about corporate
tax inversions. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew spoke briefly before a
group of panelists parsed out the causes of and solutions to the
growing number of U.S. multinational corporations that are
reincorporating abroad. The packed room — early on a Monday
morning, no less — reflects the growing public and political
interest in the tax strategy.
LEGISLATIVE LANDSCAPE
House and Senate. The House and Senate are
returning to Capitol Hill this week after a five-week recess with a
few "must-do" items on the agenda. However, both chambers
and both parties share a common desire to keep the September
session short so they can get back home to campaign for the Nov. 4
midterm elections.
