Bobbi Kristina's problems 'out of control'
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- A U.S. lawmaker has a Valentine's Day message for energy companies, saying the days of their "sweetheart" tax deals were over.
U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., said he wanted to close loopholes in tax legislation that he said would save taxpayers more than $20 billion over the next decade.
"This Valentine's Day, I have a clear message for big oil -- your sweetheart deals are over," he said in a message to energy companies.
Legislation introduced by Menendez calls for an end to deals for oil and gas production on public lands and a crack down on rules that let oil companies get special tax deductions.
"For too long oil companies have padded their profits at taxpayer expense," said Menendez in his statement. "We're going to close these outrageous tax loopholes and get back to investing in the good-paying green jobs of the future."
Menendez said tax loopholes contributed to record-setting profits for big energy companies like Chevron and BP.
