Romanoff slams Bennet, Udall for voting to extend Big Oil tax...

DENVER-- At a press conference Thursday, Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Andrew Romanoff called out his opponent Sen. Michael Bennet as well as Democratic Sen. Mark Udall for voting down an amendment that would have closed tax loopholes through which the oil industry evades paying $35 billion to the government each year. Colorado's Senators said they supported the proposal in theory but that the amendment was written poorly and would have unnecessarily penalized small oil companies and cost Colorado jobs.
