UPDATE 4/15/2010: This post has been updated to remove Senator Cardin’s name as a signer. Senator Cardin’s staff has informed us that he won’t be signing this bipartisan letter as he’s already sent a personal letter to Conrad on this issue and has been a strong advocate within the Budget Committee throughout the process.
