Sen. Kay Hagan votes to confirm Tim Geithner as Treasury Secretary:
“I have said that it is too important in these tenuous economic times to hold up this critical appointment for a serious, but honest, mistake. I am disappointed that Mr. Geithner made this mistake, but he has taken responsibility for it, paid his back taxes, and with overwhelming support from the Finance Committee, and the U.S. Senate, I am pleased that this evening, he became our country’s new Treasury Secretary.
