Heating oil rebate rejected by House panel
The House Ways and Means Committee rejected President Carter’s heating oil tax rebate plan 20 to 4, shelving the $60 to $85 annual rebate. New England representatives hope to restore the rebate on the House floor as Carter’s broader crude oil tax debate moves forward. A separate housing weatherization package, approved 21 to 0, would fund grants up to $800 for materials and $100 for repairs, potentially insulating 1.2 million homes with $585 million, plus loan subsidies and large loan bundles to private lenders.
