The House of Representatives adjourned for the holidays without passing the payroll tax cut bill. If you remember, the Senate overwhelmingly passed a temporary, two-month, extension over the weekend. Now The White House says President Obama is urging House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to return to Washington to resolve this standoff before the tax cut expires at the end of the year.

To talk more about this ongoing struggle in Washington is Congresswoman Kathy Hocul, a Democrat representing the 26th district in Western New York. She’s also here to talk about the long-awaited new rules to address pilot fatigue, in response to the February 2009 plane crash of flight 3407.
