Grassley, Sticking Around at Finance, Talks Health With Obama


Published On: May 7th, 2009

GrassleySo it turns out Chuck Grassley is sticking around as the ranking republican on the Senate Finance Committee, one of the centers of power in the health reform debate.

We were reminded of these facts by the news that Grassley and Max Baucus, who chairs the committee, had lunch at the White House today with Barack Obama and Joe Biden. They spent most of the meal talking about health reform, the Des Moines Register reports.

We reported the buzz last week that Grassley might give up his spot as the top Republican on the Finance Committee and become the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee (a job that opened up when Arlen Specter switched parties). The prospect apparently had some pharma lobbyists pretty excited, given Grassley’s scrutiny of the industry.

But it didn’t work out that way. Instead, Jeff Sessions will be the ranking Republican at Judiciary through the end of next year. Grassley will take over the job after that, the Associated Press said.
