WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts says he will support a sweeping financial regulatory bill, moving the bill closer to the 60 votes it needs to ultimately win final approval.
Brown joins Sen. Susan Collins of Maine as two crucial Republican votes for the legislation.
Democratic leaders were still looking to secure the 60 votes needed to overcome procedural hurdles. They were awaiting word from Republican Sens. Olympia Snowe of Maine and Charles Grassley of Iowa, who supported an earlier Senate version.
Brown won concessions in the bill and said Monday that the legislation "is a better bill than it was when this whole process started."
Now you know why they are called Massholes.
Just kidding. I pronunciate the letter ‘r’ and use my directionals.
FWIW, a couple of good GOP guys running for the U.S. House here in MA have been very critical of Snot. I've been Tweeting them and letting them know that the people that got Snot elected are PISSED. I suggested they check out FR to see the vitriol the sane folks have for Brown. I hope they learn.
