House Dems Renew Styrofoam Fight

The Hill reports:

House Democrats are once again attempting to do away with Styrofoam products in congressional cafeterias, this time with an amendment to a fiscal 2012 Legislative Branch Appropriations bill.

Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) introduced an anti-Styrofoam amendment on Wednesday during an Appropriations Committee markup.

The proposed legislation did not get far, however. Committee members voted on the amendment down party lines, with the majority torpedoing the measure 26-18.
