WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jeff Bingaman today issued the following statement about the final passage of a two-month extension of the payroll tax cut:
“I’m glad the House of Representatives agreed to the two-month extension of this tax cut for working families. New Mexicans have come to rely on this tax cut to buy food, pay for medications and fill their gas tanks. It would have been a mistake to let it expire,” Bingaman said. “Although this is a temporary fix, it gives Congress time in the new year to come to an agreement on extending this tax cut through 2012.”
