Restaurants make progress on credit card fees at the state level

Working Lunch: The political podcast featuring Align Public Strategies features Brennan Duckett, director of technology and innovation policy for the National Restaurant Association.

Restaurants are making progress on credit card fees at the state level, and that’s been frustrating to credit card companies.

That’s one of the subjects being discussed on this week’s Working Lunch podcast with Joe Kefauver and Franklin Coley of Align Public Strategies. They are joined by Brennan Duckett, director of technology and innovation policy with the National Restaurant Association.

They discuss the ongoing issue of credit card fees and the industry’s efforts to limit those fees at the state level.

The podcast also features a recap of the Democratic National Convention and Legislative Scorecard.
