Another Excise Bill in the House

[Palmetto Coast]

Hey Folks,

Didn't see it posted, but another excise bill has been brought to the table in the House. I know it is frustrating and you've all done this before, but please contact your Congressmen and Senators. Believe it or not they know each other and talk. The more folks that are aware, the better chance we have.

Thanks,

Senator Gary Peters introduced a similar Bill in the Senate.

Unfortunate for dropping the overall tax rate, because of this I don't see it happening. That must be DISCUS mucking things up. But of course supporters will say their support was needed.

The brewers are proposing a similar bill, halving the reduced rate small brewers already enjoy. Isn't that nice, paying $7 per barrel instead of $18 but still wanting to cut that in half.

The bill in the House is HR 2520. It's Govtrack page is here.

The last two bills never made it out of Ways and Means. This one isn't likely to, either, unfortunately.
