Dodd to Remain as Banking Committee Chairman

In case you missed it, Senator Dodd announced yesterday that he will retain his post as the Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, passing on the opportunity to take over the HELP Committee Chairmanship left open by the late Senator Kennedy.

AFFIL and other consumer advocacy groups were concerned about who would take over should Dodd choose to leave the Banking Committee, as we blogged about last week.  Our appreciation for his choice to stay is noted in this article from today’s Hartford Courant.
