Sen Bernard Sanders from VT( Independent )has offered amendment to tax legislation pending in the Senate that would increase taxes on independent producers. The Senate could vote as early as next Tuesday 15 june. It would eliminate IDC on oil % gas operators and % depletion allowance on royalty owners revenue. I want and need every member to call your Senator Monday the 14th and voice your opposition to this action. say something like " I understand Sen Sanders has proposed an amendment to tax legislation that will remove the % depletion allowance on my royalty income that has been part of the tax code since 1926. I expect you to oppose this action."
