An amendment by Senator Paul Fannin to strip tax-exempt status from unions and similar groups over political activity blocks early Senate action on the tax reform bill. The dispute centers on funding from union dues routed to political causes via COPE, with AFL-CIO defending legality and voluntary contributions. The Senate has trimmed House provisions while expanding social security benefits, amid warnings of a potential presidential veto.
