I have a mole participating in staff-level negotiations. He says the ACORN slush fund has been taken out. The “proxy access” provisions and government equity stake in banks –two of the more contentious issues that will be Member-level issues, to be discussed tonight. House Republicans want to limit cost of the initial tranche and add the Cantor mortgage-backed security insuranceprovision.
Overall, sounds like they are moving toward a deal.
