Senators attached a provision repealing a 39-cent excise tax on wooden arrows designed for children to an historic $700 billion financial-markets rescue that passed tonight by a vote of 74-25.
The company that was intended for is located somewhere in Oregon. The provision was put into there to try to entice one of the Oregon senators for the vote. As I understand it, he still voted no.
ETA: Looks like it was intended to entice a congressman, not a senator.
