Senate Appropriations update

Yesterday's full Senate Appropriations markup has apparently kicked the CDFI Fund appropriation from the subcommittee's $45 million back to the $55 million level that Sens. Santorum, Corzine and others had been seeking. This per an email just circulated by the CDFI Coalition.

Senate Appropriations has posted a helpful press release summarizing what the subcommittee markup did with the TT/HUD appropriations bill this past Tuesday. No posted summary up yet for yesterday's action but it might be worth checking the Senate Appropriations "Press Room" page later on. So far THOMAS is just posting the same July 19 press release, but might want to keep checking over there too.
