Washington -- The Senate could consider "cash for clunkers" legislation to boost car sales within a week, Sen. Debbie Stabenow said today.
Her comments came a day after the House passed legislation that would offer vouchers worth up to $4,500 to consumers who turn in old, low-mileage vehicles for new models.
Stabenow, D-Lansing, who has sponsored similar legislation in the Senate, said agreement has already been reached with members of the Senate Appropriations Committee on at least $1 billion of initial funding for the program, which could eventually cost four times that amount.
