The Kelley 3: Last two pages

Last two pages

Unless you actually read ALL 906 pages of the H.R 3590 that was signed by President Obama yesterday, you will want to click HERE and skip right to page 904!

They snuck in the adoption tax credit (which was originally slated to be voted on this summer). It has been extended until Dec 2011 AND they even increased the amount by one thousand dollars!

With all the hub-bub flying around about pre-existing condition this, and mandatory that, I didn't even catch wind of this!

You can read more about it here on the Minneapolis Examiner.
