Enhanced child tax credit ends, Oregon lawmakers trying to restart it

More than 90,000 families, more than a million kids, that's how many people in the Northwest have been getting more money in the bank every month from the enhanced child tax credits that were part of the American Rescue Plan put into action earlier this year. U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Oregon, doesn't think one more year is enough. "I'm also supporting legislation called the American Family Act. That would permanently extend enhanced child tax credits. The Build Back Better Act as you know is pending in the Senate; it's a beginning, but this is a permanent extension," said Bonamici.
