BOSTON, MA -- Alethea Harney, Spokesperson for Elizabeth Warren, issued the following statement today upon Scott Brown's vote to continue tax breaks for big oil:

"Scott Brown again is siding with Big Oil, helping the richest, most profitable companies in the world get billions of dollars more in tax breaks and loopholes while consumers are getting hammered. Elizabeth will stand up to big oil just as she's stood up to Wall Street and the big banks to protect middle class families. She would have voted against these giveaways."
