Arizona Congressmen J.D. Hayworth and Matt Salmon announced they have introduced legislation to provide America's teachers with targeted tax relief. Many teachers report spending even more.
Teachers already have a hard enough job as it is.
The legislation will be referred to the Ways and Means Committee where Hayworth is Arizona's only member. The Apples for Teachers Act will help give teachers the quality classroom materials our students deserve. And it's a way for us to say 'thank-you' to all those teachers who regularly go the extra mile for their students. Funding regulations make it difficult for teachers to purchase essential supplies and materials. As a result, teachers often have to spend their own money to provide their students the materials they need.
