UU. por Oreg\u00f3n. Es un legislador con experiencia a nivel estatal, pero es nuevo en la escena en Washington DC April Baer verifica c\u00f3mo le est\u00e1 yendo a Merkley en el trabajo.<\/p>\n<p>Como senador, Jeff Merkley no est\u00e1 bajo el mismo tipo de presi\u00f3n que, digamos, el presidente Obama para desempe\u00f1arse en los primeros cien d\u00edas en el cargo.<\/p>\n<p>Pero los habitantes de Oreg\u00f3n han tenido la oportunidad de tener una idea de Merkley, mientras navega por un campo minado de votos en el Senado. Y sus nombramientos en comit\u00e9s le han dado un asiento de primera fila.<\/p>\n<p>Francis Creighton \u201cEs justo decir que el Comit\u00e9 Bancario del Senado es el epicentro de todo lo que est\u00e1 pasando en el Senado este a\u00f1o\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Francis Creighton es vicepresidente de la Asociaci\u00f3n de Banqueros Hipotecarios con sede en DC, ejerce presi\u00f3n sobre el Comit\u00e9 Bancario del Senado, al que Merkley se uni\u00f3 en enero.<\/p>\n<p>Francis Creighton \u201cDesde el rescate de autom\u00f3viles hasta lo que sucede con TARP, el futuro de Fannie Mae y Freddie Mac, lo que sucede con los bancos de inversi\u00f3n y otros bancos, este es un comit\u00e9 incre\u00edblemente importante\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>El Senador Merkley est\u00e1 de acuerdo en que sus primeros meses en el cargo han estado llenos de acontecimientos.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Merkley \u201cLe dir\u00e9, la d\u00e9cada que pas\u00e9 en la legislatura de Oreg\u00f3n fue muy, muy \u00fatil. Descubres que las cosas se hacen hablando con la gente\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Pero dice que no fue dif\u00edcil pasar de ser un negociador, como presidente de la C\u00e1mara de Representantes de Oreg\u00f3n, a un senador joven cuya herramienta m\u00e1s poderosa es posiblemente un solo voto de s\u00ed o no. Como ejemplo, menciona la votaci\u00f3n de enero sobre la liberaci\u00f3n de dinero adicional para el proyecto de ley de rescate bancario.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Merkley \u201cYo era un firme oponente de repetir los errores que cometimos con la Recuperaci\u00f3n de Activos T\u00f3xicos. Le dije a la administraci\u00f3n que no hab\u00eda manera, y le dije a mi liderazgo lo mismo, de ninguna manera recibir\u00eda mi voto, a menos que consigamos que una gran parte de esos fondos se destine a familias trabajadoras en problemas con sus hipotecas\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/news.opb.org\/article\/4715-sen-merkley-learning-ropes-dc\/');\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Leer m\u00e1s -&gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>t&rsquo;s been about a hundred days since Jeff Merkley was sworn in as Oregon&rsquo;s U.S. Senator.
