Senate, House ratify tax reform measure

CONGRESS has ratified the Tax Reform and Acceleration Inclusion (TRAIN) bill before it adjourned its session for a month-long holiday break but not without controversy as members of the House of Representatives claimed that a lack of quorum during the voting nullified the ratification.

It was not the case in the Senate as it voted 16-4 to approve the measure that was expected to provide tax relief to almost 6.8 million workers.
