Estate Tax Vote Could Be Tonight: OMBW Letter Opposes Bill

In advance of the vote on the "trifecta" estate tax bill in the Senate, which rumors say could be as early as tonight, OMB Watch sent a letter in strong opposition to the bill to the full Senate. Although the vote was originally slated for tomorrow (Friday) morning, there are rumors from the Hill that Sen. Reid (D-NV) may agree to move the vote up to this evening. This is a good sign as it probably indicates Reid is confident he has the votes to sustain a filibuster of the bill. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
