From this morning's Earlybird:
• "The presidents of about a dozen labor unions will meet with President Obama" today "to push him to limit the scope of a proposed tax on high-cost insurance plans," The Hill reports. "Labor sources acknowledge they will not succeed in completely eliminating the tax, but they hope to raise its threshold so that fewer labor households feel the impact."
• The Washington Post profiles the relationship between Rep. John Dingell, D-Mich., and his wife, Debbie, to illustrate the limits of congressional conflict-of-interest rules.
• "The community bank lobby and HuffingtonPost are urging people to move their money out of the nation's biggest banks," The Hill reports. "Liberal activists Arianna Huffington and Rob Johnson started a campaign late in December to encourage people to move their money away from Wall Street banks and into community banks."
