Source : domesticfuel.com

For those of you who might be wondering just what the heck happened this week in the Senate, where they voted in favor of ethanol before they voted against it and then for it again, Renewable Fuels Association president and CEO Bob Dinneen offers some insight in a post on The E-xchange blog. Dinneen explains that the vote Tuesday to defeat the Coburn amendment to end the ethanol blenders tax credit (VEETC) was more about the way the Oklahoma Republican went about getting a vote by filing for cloture, which is normally done on a bill, not an amendment, and is a privilege of the leadership. "In any case, the vote on the Coburn amendment Tuesday was certainly not about fiscal responsibility", Dinneen says. "That fact was made clear when it was revealed every one of the 16 Senators signing the cloture petition had voted just a month earlier to preserve tax breaks for oil companies."
