Senate panel backs diesel tax relief with offset measures
The Senate Finance Committee approved partial diesel tax relief for off road uses funded by widening the gas guzzler tax and closing liquor tax loopholes. The plan would delay relief until Oct 1 and force farmers and others to pay the tax upfront and seek refunds later, amid budget deficit concerns.

Delaware trails on federal hazardous materials law compliance
Delaware officials say they are at least six months behind in implementing a federal act requiring plans for handling hazardous materials accidents. The program, tied to the 1986 Superfund amendments, involves multiple state agencies and aims to prevent disasters like the Bhopal incident. Officials cite workload growth, funding cuts, and limited resources as delaying progress. about 800 of 7,000 affected firms have registered, and enforcement awaits adequate manpower. Louis Amabili notes readiness for emergency responders is delayed to next fiscal year due to data and equipment delays.
