Brown, like most legislators, has a "FOR SALE" sign outside his office. My money says the administration will meet his price.

Obama will meet with him and make him an offer he can't refuse. SOP for this administration.

Yeah, I saw her comments to the Press the other day too. Made me chuckle!

Interesting because I was just told by a caterer that if I used a “rewards” credit card, I would hae to pay a 4% surcharge as the credit card companies are now passing along these extra costs to vendors. This started in April and I wondered if it was some consumer bill of rights fallout...

For example, Mr. Brown won Barney Frank’s House District by two-to-one.

No he didn't. He barely lost it.

In some states that little move is illegal.

HE has to pay up to 4% to the credit card processor (he should be able to do MUCH better than that). AND there are some card companies that charge an outrageous fee if you are not a high volume company.

For example, I was taking only two or three discover card transactions per month. A vast majority were V/M/Amex. The Discover card people hit me with a $9.95 per month fee to accept their card. This amount to a very high percentage of my income on those sales.

Guess who dropped DC like a bad habit.

I am very close to dropping AMEX as well—they take forever to pay and their fees are high too.

I live in Illinois and have never heard of it, but the caterer is in Iowa, so I am guessing it is legal there :(.

Thing is, I don’t think I am getting 4% back on any of my “rewards” cards.
