“Yes, I do have misgivings because I understand that there are a lot of unintended consequences,” Snowe told The Hill. “We haven’t had this bill laid down in its entirety so it makes it difficult, I think, to make a decision on a bill in such a short timeframe.”
Snowe reiterated that now, among her chief concerns, is the pace at which the bill is moving forward.
“Given the enormity and complexity, I don’t see anything magical about the Christmas deadline if this bill is going to become law in 2014,” Snowe said.
