Sen. Tester calls for disabled vets to be included in rebate proposal

U.S. Senator Jon Tester is calling on members of the U.S. Senate to include the nation's disabled veterans in an economic stimulus proposal.

The Montana Democrat has thrown his support for Senator Max Baucus' tax rebate plan for Americans which would give a $500 rebate to all disabled veterans who have no income other than their disability benefits.

Sen. Baucus is also proposing to give a $500 rebate to any American reporting $3,000 of income in their 2007 tax return.
Senator Tester says that no matter what happens with the U.S. Senate's current version of the proposal, he will fight to include a rebate for disabled veterans in the final version.
