House Rules halts energy tax bill amid Memorial Day recess
The House Rules Committee suspended action on a multibillion-dollar energy tax bill on Tuesday after Chairman Ray Madden said it is impossible to pass in two days. The delay follows pressure from House Democratic leaders to resume after the Memorial Day recess. The bill includes higher gasoline taxes and a levy on gas guzzlers, with Ways and Means Chair Al Ullman urging swift action to avoid faytar tariffs and national discredit.
