Senate votes to block special break for conservative college
Toomey
The tax package would impose a new tax on investment income earned by some private universities and colleges. Sen. Pat Toomey  R-Pa.  added a provision exempting certain colleges that don't receive federal funds. Democrats said Hillsdale was the only college that would benefit.
 Toomey  defended Hillsdale as "a wonderful institution" and said other schools might qualify for the tax break  too.  Toomey  said a school that declines federal funds saves taxpayers "a tremendous amount of money."
"I do understand that my colleagues on the far left do not have fond opinion of Hillsdale. But I do. I actually think it's a wonderful institution "  Toomey  said.
Graduates include Erik Prince  who is DeVos' brother and the founder of the government contractor once known as Blackwater  and former Rep. Chris Chocola of Indiana. Chocola once headed the conservative Club for Growth  an advocacy group that Toomey also once led.
