McConnell Says Bill Not Ready For Debate
KENTUCKY....
Democrats want to begin debating the financial overhaul bill this week. However, Kentucky Senate leader Mitch McConnell says the bill isn’t ready for a full Senate debate, and Republicans have enough votes to prevent Democrats from beginning debate on the bill. Republicans oppose some provisions of the measure, especially a multibillion-dollar bailout fund while Democrats say that proposal and other initiatives are aimed at preventing another financial meltdown. McConnell says he thinks there’s a good chance Democrats and Republicans eventually will reach an agreement on the plan.
