Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) issued a statement, “Lincoln Hails Conference Approval of Tough Wall Street Reforms.”
Also, Senate Banking Chairman Chris Dodd (D-CT) issued a statement hailing passage. Critics are noting this quote from the Senator as reported in The Washington Post: “No one will know until this is actually in place how it works. But we believe we’ve done something that has been needed for a long time. It took a crisis to bring us to the point where we could actually get this job done.”
