BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
Congressman
Bill Cassidy, R-LA, is re-introducing a bill to the Senate that would help
families and small businesses still recovering from Hurricane Isaac.
Cassidy
said the Isaac Act would provide additional tax relief for those most impacted
by the storm without costing the taxpayers.
Louisiana
and Mississippi residents living in the federally-declared disaster area could
deduct more unreimbursed losses and withdraw funds from their IRAs.
The money
would be tax free and not subject to contribution limits if paid back within
three years.
