Professor Painter Interviewed by NPR's All Things Considered on Ethics Controversy
Professor Painter was interviewed by NPR's All Things Considered on the controversy over Senator Ben Nelson's vote on parts of the financial reform bill that are opposed by Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway. Senator Nelson and his wife own stock in Berkshire Hathaway.
Painter suggested that Members of Congress invest their money in mutual funds to avoid such controversies, but that real ethics reform will not come until we also address the influence of campaign contributors.
