Senate Approves Home Tax Credit Extension

By ANDREW TAYLOR (AP)

WASHINGTON - The Senate on Wednesday approved a plan to give homebuyers an extra three months to finish qualifying for federal tax incentives that boosted home sales this spring.

The move by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid would give buyers until Sept. 30 to complete their purchases and qualify for tax credits of up to $8,000. Under the current terms, buyers had until April 30 to get a signed sales contract and until June 30 to complete the sale.

The proposal, approved by a 60-37 vote, would only allow people who already have signed contracts to finish at the later date. About 180,000 who already signed purchase agreements would otherwise miss the deadline.

Wondering How You Can Make A Difference?

Donate your hair and your pet's fur to support the Gulf of Mexico oil spill cleanup effort. The next time you have your hair cut or your pet groomed, ask the stylist to mail your clippings to the California based non-profit Matter of Trust.

Matter of Trust is providing a safe, non-toxic and effective way for everyone to participate. Thousands of salons, groomers and individuals from the US, Canada and beyond are sending in hair, fur and nylons. The fibers and tubing are used to make booms that help protect beaches and coastal waters.

We all know the importance of shampooing our oily hair, but it took Phil McCrory, a stylist from Alabama, to realize that hair was an efficient and abundant material for collecting and containing petroleum spills. For over a decade, Phil's company, Ottimat, has been partnering with Matter of Trust to orchestrate an International Fiber Recycling system. To participate in the cleanup, sign up here. INSTRUCTIONS
