The Hill: Senate Democrats hit GOP with billboards on Tax Day

• The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) marked Tax Day on Monday by rolling out billboards in Florida and Wisconsin, hitting Republicans over Sen. Rick Scott’s (R-Fla.) proposed plan to require all Americans to pay at least some income tax.

• The billboards, which read “Senate Republicans’ Plan: Raise Your Taxes,” will be deployed in Orlando and Miami, Fla., near the offices of Sens. Rick Scott (R) and Marco Rubio (R), and in Oshkosh, Wis., targeting Sen. Ron Johnson (R). Scott is the chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and Rubio and Johnson are facing closely watched reelection bids.

• “If Senate Republicans have their way, hard-working Americans — including seniors, families with children and individuals making less than $40,000 per year — would all have to pay more when they file their taxes today,” said DSCC spokesperson Nora Keefe.

• The Tax Day billboards are the latest moves from the Senate Democrats to needle Scott over his plan.
