Bingaman Statement on Passage of Temporary Extension of Payroll Tax Cut Print Share
Saturday, December 17, 2011
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today joined 88 of his Senate colleagues if voting to approve a temporary extension of the payroll tax cut. But Bingaman in a statement after the vote, he said the bill fell short in many ways.
“I am disappointed that we were unable to come to an agreement to extend unemployment insurance, the payroll tax cut and Medicare reimbursements for full year. There are also various other tax provisions scheduled to expire in a few weeks, such as those related to renewable energy and efficiency, and in my view it is not responsible to let them expire,” Bingaman said.Contact Senator Bingaman's Office:
