Sugar Bill Joker Burned From Underwood Plan
The Senate finance committee removed a controversial clause from the Underwood tariff bill that could have extended its refined sugar provisions to all refined sugar used in confectionery.

The revised bill now focuses on income tax, administration sections, and duties on certain goods while skipping broad sugar language.
