Merchants Payments Coalition spokesperson Rachel Wolf issued the following statement in response to Senator Kohl’s vote to preserve the critical swipe fee reforms that passed last year:
“Senator Kohl stood with Main Street consumers and merchants yesterday and voted to allow reforms providing much-need relief from out-of-control debit fees to move forward. Senator Kohl’s support was crucial to this Main Street victory.”
