Twin Defeats End Chance For Income Tax Cuts
Washington reports twin defeats in the tax revision battle end any chance for a general income tax cut this session. Senate passage may come after amendments, with House already approving a differing form. Democrats claim defeat helps their November political stance. Republicans insist their plan offered real relief. The George $2.4 billion proposal and a Republican $960 million substitute were both defeated 49 to 46, with cross-party votes noted. The administration argues the bill balances relief for individuals and business while cutting about 1.4 billion in the first year.
