Koch network 'piggy banks' closed until Republicans pass health and tax reform.
Koch officials said that the networks midterm budget for policy and politics is between $300m and $400m, but donors are demanding legislative progress.
'At a weekend donor retreat attended by at least 18 elected officials, the Koch brothers warned that time is running out to push their agenda, most notably healthcare and tax reform, through Congress.
One Texas-based donor warned Republican lawmakers that his Dallas piggy bank was now closed, until he saw legislative progress.
Get Obamacare repealed and replaced, get tax reform passed, said Doug Deason. Get it done and well open it back up.'>>>
