WASHINGTON -- A group aligned with House Democrats is giving visitors to the 2018 New York State Fair a reminder about their taxes and politics on the way to the fair this year.

House Majority PAC paid for a billboard critical of Rep. John Katko for his vote to pass the Republican tax plan in 2017. The bill cut the corporate tax rate from 35 to 21 percent and simplified individual rates as part of the largest overhaul of the U.S. tax code in more than three decades.

The billboard at Interstate 690 and State Fair Boulevard, across from the State Fair, states: "Who's paying for Katko's tax scam? Surprise, it's you." It refers readers to the CostYouMore.com website run by House Majority PAC.

The political action committee says the Republican tax bill gives 83 percent of the tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans.

This billboard at Interstate 690 and State Fair Boulevard will greet visitors to the 2018 New York State Fair.

The billboard will remain for the length of the New York State Fair, said Hannah Blatt, a spokeswoman for House Majority PAC. She declined to disclose the cost of the billboard.

Katko, R-Camillus, has touted the business-friendly aspects of the tax bill and said most working families in the 24th Congressional District will have a net tax cut because of the changes.
