The House has two money committees. Finance will decide on the tax plans.
Appropriations decides how to spend the money.
So the Democrats on Appropriations, with the help of some Republicans, wrote into the spending plan a car tax cut, a food tax cut, AND school construction and repair money.

The state's handed over school construction money to localities only once in 50 years.
But the idea polls well with voters sick of crumbling schools, and it could be a wedge to deny Jim Gilmore a complete repeal of the car tax.

((There was no doubt she would do wella silver, most everyone thoughtbut 15 year-old Tara Lipinski zoomed past her rival, Michelle Kwanachieving her wildest Olympic dream.
SOUND-UP: LIPINSKI SCREAMING FROM RESULTS.
Lipinski had not only won the goldshe had made historybecoming the youngest Olympic figure skating champion evereven younger than Sonja Henie was in 1928.
SOUND-UP: LIPINSKI RECEIVING MEDAL.
It was a moment Lipinski had fantasized about since she was five years old, while watching the 1988 winter games in Calgary.

(SOT, TARA LIPINSKI, GOLD MEDALIST, 08:03:50, "When you skate so well I can do

anything. BUTT TO: 08:04:08, "It was like a dream come true? More than a dream come true, everything come true. It's been great.")
SOUND-UP: KWAN SKATING.
Michelle Kwan was the favorite heading into the final round of the Ladies' Singlesher performance was lyricalbut failed to capture the moment. She skated to silver.

(SOT, MICHELLE KWAN, SILVER MEDALIST, 08:10:30, "You never get what you want,

exactly and skating well.")
The one-two win for the U-S is the first in more than 40 years. Lipinski becomes the sixth American to win the top prize. The bronze went to Lu Chen from Chinathat's two in a row for her.
SOUND-UP: AMERICAN ANTHEM.
At only 15, one has to wonder what Lipinski can possibly do for an encore. Knowing her, she's probably already thinking about the next games in 2002.
