Letter: Fossel column distorts focus, reach of Inflation Reduction Act

MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • August 21, 2022

Jim Fossel’s Aug. 14 column completely distorts the focus and reach of the just-passed Inflation Reduction Act, historic legislation that meaningfully addresses our warming planet, the economic needs of the middle class and the grossly underresourced IRS. No Republicans supported its passage, including Sen. Susan Collins. The legislation offers tax credits for residential clean-energy expenses and electric vehicle purchases, which will create millions of jobs in technologies of the future. Every American should rejoice at the passage of this legislation – even Mr. Fossel. ~ Jennifer Jones, Falmouth
