House Speaker Paul Ryan says special interests are trying to derail the Republican tax overhaul plan by creating “confusion and chaos.”
Ryan made the comment Monday while speaking to small business leaders at Royal Basket Trucks in Darien.
Ryan says he’s been telling Republicans that opposition to the plan will only intensify as details are released later this week.
