Weekly Legislative Update July 25, 2011
July 25, 2011 Last week was mostly about debt ceiling increase/deficit reduction. This week it will be even more so. At the moment, the situation is deadlocked. As of Sunday night (July 24), it appears that both parties are working on plans that won’t/can’t pass muster with the other party—this may be a necessary prerequisite [...]
Weekly Legislative Update July 18, 2011
July 18, 2011 The dominant issue last week and this week continues to be the debt ceiling/deficit reduction debate. Last week there were daily meetings of the Congressional leadership with President Obama; this week there will be “cover” votes in the House and Senate, with a “real” resolution expected to come after those cover votes. [...]
Weekly Legislative Update June 27, 2011
June 27, 2011 The compelling news in Washington right now is what will be done about the need to raise the debt ceiling—most lawmakers (both parties) want to combine a debt ceiling increase with a deficit-reduction/debt management package. Negotiations on that package blew up last Thursday, when the two Republicans (Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) and Sen. [...]
Weekly Legislative Update June 13, 2011
June 13, 2011 Last week, in between the current “scandals” (Rep. Weiner’s internet pictures & presidential candidate Newt Gingrich’s campaign staff resignations), official Washington focused yet more on deficit reduction, debt management, and dealing with the debt ceiling. The House was out on recess; the Senate rejected an effort to delay the scheduled decrease in [...]
Weekly Legislative Update June 6, 2011
June 6, 2011 The “hopscotch” Congressional schedule continues…the Senate was out (actually, in pro forma session to prevent a recess appointment of controversial Elizabeth Warren to head the CFPB-Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) and the House was in. This upcoming week, the Senate is in, but the House is out on recess. However, despite the House’s [...]
Weekly Legislative Update May 9, 2011
May 9, 2011 Congress’ return from recess was highlighted by reaction to the news that the U.S. had found and killed Osama bin Laden—an event that put the partisanship and looming budget fights if not on the back burner, at least “behind” this remarkable achievement in terms of lawmakers (and voters) attention! Budget: But, the [...]

Weekly Legislative Update April 18, 2011
April 18, 2011 Congress is now out until May 2… Here’s what happened as this most recent in-DC work period ended: 1. 1099 reporting rules are no longer the law! President Obama signed the repeal bill (H.R.4) into law on April 14. 2. Congress approved and the President signed into law a funding bill that [...]
Weekly Legislative Update April 11, 2011
April 11, 2011 The big news of the week just past was, of course, the conclusion of negotiations over funding the government through Sept. 30, 2011. The key part of that agreement for us is the fact that it excludes the “de-funding” of PPACA and Dodd-Frank implementation provisions in the House-passed CR. However, the agreement [...]
