In response to Tonnie Cummings’ letter “Extend child tax credit” (Our Readers’ Views, Sept. 22), I’m taken with the fact that this successful tactic served to benefit so many children in Washington. That’s 1.4 million of our kids. Cummings points to the research that showed that their parents used their monthly benefits to provide a healthy, safe and stable environment for their families.
I would suggest we all request that Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler consider the value of restoring this legislation for the well-being of those constituents in need of such a hand up. She surely knows it will be of benefit and a great action on her part.
