🧵I spoke with @repblumenauer yesterday afternoon about the conference committee and chances for #SAFEBanking in COMPETES. Here are a couple things he said:
About @PattyMurray making the weed banking bill a priority: “having her — as a member of the leadership — making such an impassioned pitch, I think is significant.”
If he thinks adding social equity or crim justice provisions to SAFE is feasible: “I want this to pass. To somehow allow people to continue dying because they're trying to link something they haven't been able to do after years, I think it's really unfortunate. And it's unfair.”
He said he’s talked to a couple Senators about it during conference. Some are interested, and some are still holding Schumer’s line about adding things to SAFE. Said he hasn’t had anyone say it doesn’t belong in COMPETES, but “Maybe it's just they know who they're talking to.”
