In the Senate, Torricelli was a member of the Governmental Affairs Committee, Finance Committee, and Rules Committee.Torricelli helped rewrite federal bankruptcy rules, assuring federal financing for hospitals. A leading voice for tax cuts, he was the author of the provisions reducing taxes for middle income families and making college tuition tax deductible.
