Continuing the split started by Mark Udall and Michael Bennet in the Senate, the Colorado House delegation split their vote last night on the way to seeing the 2010 tax compromise passed unaltered.

Representatives DeGette, Perlmutter and Lamborn voted No, while Reps Coffman, Polis, Markey, and Salazar voted Yea.

The bill passed on a highly bipartisan 277-148 vote, with 139 Democratic ‘Yea’ votes and 138 Republican Yeas.  (112 Democrats and 36 Republicans voted against the bill.)
