Slabbed updates the Washington front: $enator Chri$ Dodd expected to retire, NFIP Extended Again

NFIP was extended via an amendment to the defense appropriations bill until February 28, 2010. The House bill remains relative unchanged from the 2007 version and contains a multi peril provision. The Senate version, largely a preserver of the status quo, remains DOA in the House.

On a related note I am pleased to announce our favorite crooked senator, Chris Dodd, is expected to announce his retirement today.
