Congressional Republicans are inching closer to determining exactly how many hundreds of billions of dollars worth of climate credits and other spending to scrap to pay for their tax, energy and security megabill. But with a slim majority in the House of Representatives and members eyeing to hold on to tax credits for their district’s constituents, just how much savings the forthcoming spending bill will produce remains to be seen.
Bracewell’s Frank Maisano told Politico’s E&E News that the Republicans’ tight margins mean negotiations are likely to continue after leaders settle on initial text.
“There’s a way to go here so advocates on both sides can’t lose their mind over the first mark,” said Maisano.
