Senate Cloture Change Ends Filibuster in Capitol Fight
The Senate filibuster ended after a State's Rights Republican coalition, altering cloture rules to include motions to take up bills. The House passed a rent control bill with limits on returns and local option, while a DC sales tax failed 177 to 166. The District faces possible $18 million added costs. The Air Force measure moves closer, and a mohair program faces defeat. Oliver Hopf and family visited Austin, and a local boot shop advertises repairs in Junction, Texas.
