Senate approves education tax credit amid broad tax bill debate
The Senate approved a tuition credit plan amid a push for bailout provisions for cities, foreign aid and government travel. The vote followed a clash with Sen. Long and a tense moment as Sen. Buckley defended the measure. The plan would let families claim a $250 maximum per student, with phased increases to 1980, and apply to undergraduate or vocational costs, offset against taxes owed. The broader tax bill faces further battles over revenue estimates and estate tax changes.
