Just as I feared.........Pat Murray was a mistake. Why did Reid appoint her.......I will never understand. Top Republican Staffer To Serve As Staff Director For Super Committee Super Committee" co-chairs Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) have announced that the panel's top staffer will be senior Republican Senate Finance Committee aide Mark Prater. "The know-how and experience Mark brings to this difficult task is exactly what we agreed must be the top priority for the staff serving all the members of this Committee," Murray and Hensarling said in an official statement. "Mark has a well-earned reputation for being a workhorse who members of both parties have relied on. We look forward to working with him and are confident that his approach and expertise will be valuable as we weigh the difficult but necessary choices ahead." Prater is currently chief tax counsel for Senate Finance Committee Republicans--an interesting specialty if you're running a panel that most expected would be devoted mainly to reducing spending on federal programs. He is respected, and considered non-ideological -- "If anyone knows how to create a fair, balanced solution that can make everyone a winner in a difficult situation like this, it's Mark Prater," said a senior Congressional Democratic aide. Fairness and balance have become code words in this fight for new tax revenue. read more............... tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com
