Boehner: Dems will get vote on Senate tax bill

House Democrats will have a chance next week to vote on the Senate-passed middle-class tax bill, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said on Thursday.
Boehner said the House would vote on the Democratic bill alongside a measure that would extend the entire slate of George W. Bush-era tax rates.
“If our Democrat colleagues want to offer the president’s plan or the Senate Democrat plan, we’re more than happy to give them the vote,” Boehner said during his weekly Capitol press conference.

“If our Democrat colleagues want to offer the president’s plan or the Senate Democrat plan, we’re more than happy to give them the vote,” Boehner said during his weekly Capitol press conference.
The top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Sander Levin (Mich.), said Thursday Democrats have decided to back the Senate plan “full scale, full bore.”
