Grinch, Students Ask for Pat Toomey's Help on Tax Legislation
"Help" being the operative word here. 
"This time, the Grinch delivered."
"Accompanied by a contingent of about 50 University of Pittsburgh students and faculty members, a costumed Grinch delivered more than 1,000 letters to U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey's downtown Pittsburgh office Wednesday afternoon."
"The group, organized by the Pitt Graduate Student Organizing Committee and the United Steel Workers union, was turned away when members sought permission to take an elevator to Toomey's 14th-floor office to deliver the letters. But a Toomey staffer who said there was no one available to talk with members of the group came down to the security desk to accept the Grinch's deliveries."
"The letters, penned a week before final exams, sought the Pennsylvania Republican's support for the elimination of provisions in a House version of the sweeping tax bill that many say would harm access to higher education. Among the provisions in question were the elimination of federal tax deductions for interest on student loans and taxing graduate student tuition waivers and tuition remission for faculty children as income."
