Jones signals House acceptance of Senate tax bill plan
Rep James R Jones head of the Budget Committee says the House will adopt a bill close to the Senate version raising taxes on business, the wealthy and smokers. He notes a bipartisan coalition may form again after Ways and Means split on terms. The plan aims to raise about 100 billion over three years and roll back some corporate and wealthy tax breaks from last summer.
