The latest House version passed 62-47, largely along partisan lines, with Democrats in support and Republicans opposed. It would generate the same $1.9 billion produced by the Single Business Tax, which ends Dec. 31. The Senate plan, passed earlier this year, would give businesses a tax savings of about $600 million. |
