Looks like you can count the region's two moderate Republicans as yes votes on the GOP tax plan that is headed for a vote this afternoon in Washington.
Rep. Ryan Costello, R-6, of West Goshen, tells us he's voting yes.
Rep. Pat Meehan, R-7, while not definitive, says the move will help his constituents.
Note there is a very important difference between the House measure and that being developed in the Senate.
Yesterday a last-second addition to the Senate plan would kill off the mandatory participation under Obamacare. The House version does not touch the Affordable Care Act.
Democratic Pa. U.S. Sen. Robert Casey blasted the new language, calling it a double-barrel blow to the middle class, hurting them tax-wise and also endangering their health care. Republican Sen. Pat Toomey supports the language eliminating the Obamacare mandate.
You can get all the details on where Costello and Meehan stand here.
