* 6:46 pm - The House is now debating the income tax bill.

The House attached an amendment that eliminates the property tax rebate program. The provision had encountered resistance from this who represent more affluent areas and those who wanted to use the money to close the state deficit.

* As of about a half hour ago, the HDem poll had this at 57 hard yes votes. Fun stuff.

* 7:32 pm - Five more members are requesting time to speak as of now.

* Like the Senate, the House also plans to change its rules to require a three fifths vote to move any bill from 2nd to 3rd Reading which amends the expenditure cap.

* One more speaker before the vote.

* 60-57. The bill passes.. It now goes to the Senate.

* Democrats voting No: Crespo, D’Amico, Farnham, Franks, J Gordon, Mell, McAsey, Osterman, Phelps, Sente. No Republicans voted for it.

* The bill reached 62 votes on the big board at one point, then fell back to 60. Here’s the video of the vote…

D’Amico switched at the last second. See anyone else?

…Adding… The other was Republican Rep. Ron Stephens. This is an old, battle-tested floor trick. Put up a phantom “Yes” vote and hope nobody notices, then pull it off at the last possible second before the other side can replace it. Didn’t work.

* 8:47 pm - The governor’s $14 billion bond plan to pay off past due debt came up short. No Republicans would support it.
