The Senate is looking for 60 votes on the Frank-Dodd financial bill, and Senator Scott Brown is so far not number 60. Senator Brown has sent a letter to Senator Dodd and Congressman Frank rejecting the bill in opposition to its $19 billion bank tax.
In response, Dodd and Frank will reconvene their conference committee, and Dodd says they will remove the bank tax from the legislation. What a difference that extra Republican vote makes.
