Demos likely to block gas tax plan
Rep. Dar Rosenkowal Dill says heat is at our feet as the Ways and Means Committee votes 15 to 14 to attach a gas tax to debt ceiling measures. The plan would impose a $2 per barrel import fee on oil, raising prices 4 to 4 cents per gallon, with heating and aviation fuels likely hit harder. The White House accuses Congress of old politics as floor action is sought for Friday or early next week amid possible Senate alignment with the debt bill.

A massive manhunt followed a Friday explosion at Fraunces Tavern and its Angler's Club annex in lower Manhattan. Four people were killed and about 45 injured.
