Senate office Telephone # of the DEMOCRATIC SPONSOR of federal reporting of electronic transactions:

I have been an admirer of Sen. Dodd, but this is a DISGRACE.

(While the language of the summary of the bill, and the person who answers the phone in Sen. Dodd's office, attempts to imply that transactions under $10,000 will not be reported, it appears that the reality is that only minute businesses that PROCESS less than 200 transactions per year, or which total less that $10,000 per year are excepted from the reporting requirement.)














Does Sen. Dodd care what Democrats think?

Exactly how this came to be slipped into the mortgage reform bill was not addressed.

It's like watching the court of Louis whatever-his-number-was.
