From Rueters:
The defeat of Coburn’s amendment doesn’t necessarily mean that the 45-cent-a-gallon ethanol tax credit will be extended beyond its scheduled expiration.
Asked at a press conference today whether he supported the Coburn language and would consider bringing it up in the House, Speaker John Boehner didn’t rule out the idea.
“Clearly there’s a big debate here on Capitol Hill about what to do with ethanol, and I think that the ethanol credit is due to expire at the end of the year,” Boehner, an Ohio Republican, told reporters. “Some members will want to take action earlier. We’re going to consider the views of all of our members. But clearly, I think changes are on the way.”
