"The latest version, which leaders hoped to begin voting on as early as Saturday afternoon, would provide a new tax exemption to fishers from villages in western Alaska. There is now an exemption from new work requirements for food assistance. And several provisions have been added that would funnel federal dollars to Alaskan health care providers.

There is even a provision that would allow certain Alaskan whaling captains to deduct more of their expenses. Right now, people recognized by the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission as captains can write off $10,000 in whaling-related expenses, like buying explosive projectiles, as a charitable contribution. The Senate bill would allow them to deduct $50,000 of their costs this way."
