Dems Ready to Cave on Campaign Finance Disclosure to Get Aid to Flint

Roll Call:

Earlier Tuesday, Senate Democrats signaled possible concessions to ensure that aid to Flint is signed into law. Lawmakers said they might drop opposition to including a campaign finance reporting provision they oppose in the CR.

Republicans insist that since the language blocking a Securities and Exchange commission rule on political giving by corporations is an extension of current law, it is not a bargaining chip per se. But Minority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada has been particularly vocal about opposition to the language.
