Federal oil royalty fight stirs Senate vote debate
Lawmakers weigh blocking Interior Department changes to oil royalty calculations amid claims of shortchanged taxpayers. Supporters say new rules would curb underhanded valuations and boost payments, while critics call it a tax on an already struggling industry. Senator Barbara Boxer and Senator Pete Domenici push opposite sides as the Senate votes on debate limits. Danielle Brian of Project on Government Oversight says the reform targets cheating in royalty payments.
