The Senate agreed to consider legislation that would cut taxes and ease credit for small businesses, ending months of delay for a measure proposed last year by President Barack Obama.
The Senate voted 61-37 today to begin debate after Republicans George Voinovich of Ohio and George Lemieux of Florida joined Democrats, providing the needed 60 votes to consider the measure. A vote on the bill may come this week.
