WASHINGTON, June 16 (UPI) -- The U.S. Senate Thursday overwhelmingly approved an amendment by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to end an ethanol industry tax break.
Feinstein's amendment to an economic development bill -- which would kill a 45-cent credit for every gallon of ethanol blended with gasoline -- was the same legislation as a bill she co-sponsored with Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., that was opposed by Corn Belt legislators, The Hill said.
