U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., voted Monday to oppose the confirmation of Timothy Geithner as President Obama's Treasury secretary, The Associated Press reports.
The 60-34 vote reflects concerns over how Geithner "did not pay all of taxes until he had been tapped to the president's Cabinet," the articlel said. "Geithner called it an unintentional oversight and settled his $34,000 overdue tax bill."
