Tax incentives for biodiesel, alcoholic beverages and short-line railroads would be retroactively extended under a compromise unveiled by congressional leaders early Tuesday.
Those measures were included in a broader tax package the leaders are seeking to attach to a government spending bill. To keep the government running, both the House and Senate must pass that legislation by Friday, when federal funding is set to lapse.
