What exactly did Schumer give the repukes to get their vote on first responders?

I mean, besides lowering the amount and shortening the timetable? Did he agree to take out the closing of the tax loophole for off-shore businesses (at the behest of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce)? I didn't find the details in the NYT today...just wondering...

1. Cut it in half and capped attorneys fees to 10% of any settlement

instead of the 30 to 40% they usually earn.

At least that's what I heard Kyl crowing about on radio here in Phoenix.

2. I guess it was worth it

had to be done.

3. Oh, I agree. However, if this deal was done to protect these off shore companies

I'd like to be able to use it against some RWingers...maybe even in a LTTE...people need to know the truth!

4. He bargained away the amendment closing the offshoring loophole. (nt)
