Midland, Texas mdash; Standing in front of two active oil rigs, Florida Gov.

Count commuters among the losers in the Republica jordan n tax bill that the House and Senate are expected to vote on next week.The final bill agreed to by Republican negotiators and released late Friday eliminates the tax incentive for private employers that subsidize their employees transit, parking and bicycle commuting expenses.Currently, companies can provide parking or tr air max 1 ansit passes worth up to $255 a month to employees as a benefit to help pay for their commuting expenses, and then deduct the costs from their corporate taxes. That amount was nike dunk set to increase to $260 a month on Jan. 1. The reasoning behind the elimination of the deduction is that since the tax bill substantially lowers the corporate tax rate, smaller tax breaks that complicate the tax code are no longer necessary. Companies could still provide the parking and transit passes to employees, but they would no longer get the tax deduction. And employees who pay for their own transportation costs can still use pre-tax income.The elimination of the subsidy has transit agencies worried that fewer commuters will opt for transit. It s clearly a negative for commuters who are spending a lot of money on public transportation, said Rob Healy, vice president for governmental affairs at the American Public Transportation Association. The employer subsidies are generally more lucrative for commuters than the ability to use pre-tax income for transportation costs, he said. The co

Internet service providers can no longer fiddle with how quickly mdash; or not mdash; customers are able to browse the web or download files, the Federal Communications Commission ruled Thursday.The 3-2 vote to adopt net neutrality regulations, which b stanley cup lock wireless companies from selectively speeding up, slowing down or blocking users internet traffic, restores a policy that was discarded during the Trump administration.The reversal also paves the way for a legal fight with the broadband industry. The development i stanley cup s the latest in a years stanley cup -long feud between regulators and ISPs, with the former arguing that protections are necessary to ensure all websites are treated the same, and the latter rejecting the rules as government overstep. In first proposing the revived rule in September, FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said the agency wanted to expand high-speed internet access and protect personal data. Net neutrality was first passed by the agency in 2015, but was later rescinded in 2017 under then-FCC Chair Ajit Pai.Consumer advocates cheered the reversal, with advocacy group Fight for the Future calling it a win for activists and civil rights groups who have argued that the regulation is needed to ensure telecom companies treat customers equally. For instance, companies won t be able to impose additional fees for some sites to load faster than others, akin to toll lanes on the internet, under net neutrality.
