The House passed the bill today with a final vote of 263-171, a comfortable margin that was 58 more votes than the measure garnered in Monday’s stunning defeat. The Senate passed the bill Wednesday by a vote of 74 for and 25 against the bill. The bicycle tax provision was part of an additional $110 billion in line items added to the already $700 billion bailout package.
