Following the Senate`s refusal to consider a Btu tax, manufacturing interests are greeting the revised transportation fuels tax proposal with notably less rancor than they did its more sweeping predecessor. Far from the fierce opposition expressed to the broadbased Btu tax, industry groups are staking out a position of {open_quotes}no position{close_quotes} on the fuels tax. The Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA; Washington) sent a letter to all 100 senators calling the proposed fuels tax-still being negotiated at CW`s press time-the least harmful of the energy tax ideas that have been discussed but stopping short of an endorsement, says CMA`s Bob Hill, assistant director/taxation.
