WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today U.S. Representative Denny Heck (WA-10) released the following statement regarding the anticipated vote Wednesday, December 3, on the short-term tax extenders package, which includes the extension of deductions for state and local general sales taxes (H.R. 5771, Section 105):
The current argument in Congress over the Export-Import Bank isn’t just the biggest show of the September session, or even a matter of particular importance to trade-dependent Washington state. It’s also a chance for two Washington members to practice their debating skills.
CALL it business as usual in Congress: A plan seems to be emerging from U.S. House Republican leadership to deal with the hot potato that is the Export-Import Bank — by not dealing with it anytime soon.
Republican leaders are talking about delaying debate until December, when Congress will be meeting in a lame-duck session, or maybe until next year, when an entirely new Congress will be seated. This is supposed to postpone a nasty argument that might damage GOP election prospects.
