Intent on pumping up a flailing economy, the U.S. House on Tuesday approved a massive package of tax breaks and rebates that could make more than 2 million Los Angeles County households eligible for at least $744 million in rebates. Lisa Friiiedman in the Daily News.
The package, worth an estimated $150 billion, passed 385-35 with the support of nearly every Southern California lawmaker. It now heads to the U.S. Senate.
All told, about 13 million California households would be eligible to receive more than $11.8 billion in rebates ranging from $300 to $600 for single filers and from $600 to $1,200 for married couples filing jointly.
