Helms filibuster delays gasoline tax clash in lame duck row
Sen Jesse Helms objects to quick vote on a gasoline tax while Sen Baker, R-NC, clashes over the measure. Both lawmakers condemn the post election session as folly. Backers say the tax would raise 5.5 billion yearly, create up to 320,000 jobs, and cost motorists about 30 dollars annually, while opponents warn it costs jobs and hits large trucks with heavy excise taxes.
