NMTC Morning Update – Senate Colloquy on the Tax Extenders

Yesterday, Senators Reid (D-NV), McConnell (R-KY), and Baucus (D-MT) engaged in a colloquy on the Senate floor where they expressed their support for action on the tax extenders. Senator Hatch (R-UT) also asked for written comments to be appended to the record. The friendly exchange followed a rare moment of bipartisan comity with the passage of the surface transportation bill (S. 1813) by a substantial margin of 74-22. On Tuesday, tax extender provisions were included in several amendments to the bill, but those amendments were ultimately voted down.
