Tax committee eyes oil and gas tax breaks
The tax panel will scrutinize breaks for oil and gas producers with a critical eye. Four committee members from oil and gas states will be excluded from negotiations with the Senate. Critics say industry opposition remains strong and reform fever could affect reelection efforts. Ed Rothschild of the Citizen-Labor Energy Coalition notes the push to curb preferences. Rep Tony Coelho and Jim Wright seek to win independent oil producers back to Democrats.
