via House May Block Food Safety Bill Over Senate Error : Roll Call.
Senate Bill 510, the Food Safety bill which gives the FDA more authority over food regulation, and putting small food producers out of business, is hung up due to a violation of congressional authority. The Senate bill has tax in it. Taxes are supposed to be initiated in the House. Whupsie, Harry Reid screwed up again.
The house will throw it back to the Senate, and they’ll have to rework it. This would normally require the cooperation of the republicans.
Maybe the bill will DIE this year. One can only hope.
