In a recent article about financial reform legislation, Senator Dodd talked about the bipartisan work that has been done so far but said, “for now we have reached an impasse.” AFR was mentioned in the article:
Heather Booth, executive director of Americans for Financial Reform, a coalition of consumer, labor, civil rights and liberal advocacy organizations, said the impasse could actually help focus public attention.
“With health care having been the center of attention until now, people weren’t focused on the solution, because Congress hadn’t focused,” Ms. Booth said. “It’s becoming front and center now.”
