Donald C. Lubick Symposium to honor the career of Len Burman, cofounder of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center and its director for many years. The tribute is today from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM ET:

Len’s unwavering commitment to a fairer, more efficient, and simpler tax system has guided his research and public service on a wide range of federal tax issues. Some of his most important contributions have centered on three key questions: 

• How do taxes on high-income individuals affect federal revenues, the economy, and fairness? 
• How can the federal tax system better support families with children? 
• What policy choices are needed now to prevent a federal budget crisis? 

At the symposium, tax experts from government, academia, and other research organizations will delve into those questions and the implications for current and future tax policy.  Please register here.
