Steele yields powers to foes in RNC. Accepts limits on spending.

[Are_grits_groceries]

Capitulating to critics on the Republican National Committee, embattled Republican Party Chairman Michael S. Steele has signed a secret pact agreeing to controls and restraints on how he spends hundreds of millions of dollars in party funds and contracts, The Washington Times has learned.

The "good governance" agreement revives checks and balances Mr. Steele resisted implementing for RNC contracts, fees for legal work and other expenditures that were not renewed after the 2008 presidential nominating contest.

The agreement, proposed by several current and former RNC officials, goes further, making 33-year RNC veteran Jay Banning, who was fired by Mr. Steele along with his deputy last month, an on-call adviser to the RNC treasurer. Mr. Banning was seen as a trusted liaison to RNC members critical of Mr. Steele's tenure and financial management.

1. What a loser. Could you see Howard Dean doing that? and Dean had as much or more pressure on him

from elements within the Democratic party who initially opposed his fifty state strategy.

2. Steele is powerless

He is just a symbol for the GOP trying to make it look like they are changing.
