While Democrats in Washington downplay the economic gains from the Republican tax cuts as “crumbs,” Hoosiers are waking up to more good news today, as FedEx announced it will invest $1.5 billion in its Indianapolis hub as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Mexico Joe Donnelly, meanwhile, is still avoiding pesky reporters’ questions about his vote against the bill (or anything else really).

FedEx is just the latest of more than 200 companies to announce pay raises, bonuses and other investments in its workforce because of the tax cuts. In addition to its investment in Indianapolis, the shipping giant will also put $200 million toward pay increases for employees and add $1.5 billion to the company’s pension plan. If anyone can track down Mexico Joe, they may want to ask whether he stands by his vote against the tax cuts.

“Mexico Joe’s vote against the Republican tax cuts was partisanship at its worst,” said NRSC Spokesman Bob Salera. “It’s no surprise that the Senate’s least effective Democrat stood on the sidelines instead of fighting for the tax relief law that is already paying off for Hoosiers.”
