Congressmen Collin Peterson---a democrat...and rick berg--a republican--voted against the so-called "Fscal Cliff bill".

The GOP-run House gave final approval to the measure late Tuesday by 257-167.

The senate approved it, by a wide margin, about 24-hours earlier.

Senators Conrad, Hoeven, Klobuchar and Franken supporting it there.

The bill means among other things, individuals making more than $400-thousand a year will pay more in income taxes.

But most households will still end up paying more, because the measure does not continue the two-year-old payroll-tax break.
