In Washington with Congressman Palazzo

This Week in Washington from the offices of Mississippi Congressman Palazzo


Said Congressman Steven Pallazo in his briefing to PRonlineNews, 'this week, I introduced the
Congressman Palazzo - Mississsippi
Disaster Tax Extension Assurance Bill. This legislation would help grant peace of mind following a natural disaster that the IRS won’t penalize victims for missed deadlines. 

The current process is less predictable and less consistent than it should be. That is why I proposed an automatic 90 day extension for individuals and businesses affected by a federally-declared disaster. 

By making the extension automatic, those affected by a disaster are given certainty and relief when it comes to filing their taxes during their difficult time.
I was also pleased to see that the House Financial Services Committee passed The Flood Insurance Market Parity and Modernization Act, a bill of which I'm a cosponsor.

Our overall goal is to ensure flood insurance remains available and affordable to homeowners. Flood insurance is a very complex issue and this bill addresses one of the many problems in Biggert-Waters by helping bring private insurers back into the marketplace.

Over the next year as we come closer to reauthorizing the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), I hope this will be the first of many to tackle flood insurance reform.

This week in DC
  • I enjoyed meeting with the Mississippi Veterans Affairs Board to discuss important issues regarding our veterans. 
  • I had a great meeting with the Mississippi Humanities Council discussing their 2015-2016 accomplishments and plans for the future!
  • I also spoke with the Mississippi Space Grant Consortium and heard about their ongoing projects and activities that support the aerospace science and technology efforts in our state.
  • Entergy Mississippi came to meet about the Low Income Energy Assistance Program.
  • I also met with Colonel Chytka, District Commander of the Mobile Corps of Engineers this week to discuss ongoing and upcoming projects in Mississippi.'
