Tax plan targets corporations and wealthy in new bill
A Democratic controlled Finance Committee proposal would raise taxes mainly on corporations and high income individuals including about 2,000 of the wealthiest families. It would suspend a scheduled cut to the 50 percent rate for two years while extending the 3 percent gas excise tax. The bill aims to reduce the deficit by 9 billion this year and 3.4 billion next year, with estate tax provisions contested between the White House and lawmakers. The House approved an $800 billion spending bill funding operations through Sept 30 and rejected a pay hike for Congress and top officials.

Clean air deadlines extended eight months in House vote
The House approved an eight month extension to August 31 1988 for Syracuse and 60 other cities to meet federal ozone and carbon monoxide standards delaying penalties. The vote followed defeat of a plan to push the deadline to 1989. Syracuse had multiple carbon monoxide violations in prior years. The move signals willingness to tackle acid rain legislation and aims to avoid loss of federal funds while Congress prepares further air quality measures.
