A Hill piece tomorrow looks at the way the Senate reception for the 100 Hours legislation is shaping up.
Inevitably, the cats are proving hard to herd. Including the chief catherd himself.
On the minimum wage bill, for instance, Nancy will probably pass a nice clean bill. On the Senate side, though,
Republicans [] are seeking tax and regulatory sweeteners for businesses to ease the impact of a phased wage hike to $7.25 per hour. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has indicated that he will back the business breaks, remarking last week that a filibuster-proof margin for a stand-alone minimum wage increase may be achievable, but, "I'm not sure I want to do that."
Other 100 Hours bills are similarly set up for a magical mystery tour around the Senate labyrinth.
I sense interesting times ahead.
