Congressional Tax Reform: In the 2010 elections, some Republican candidates called for an overhaul of the tax code. President Obama, in his State of the Union address, seemed to support the concept (although he did not necessarily support the Republican ideas). This panel will focus on pending and recently enacted proposals for tax reform in the areas of estate and gift tax, income taxes (individual and corporate), and other issues that have arisen in the current Congress.
- Ronald Blasi (Georgia State) (moderator)
