Prof. Painter Quoted in Businessweek on Lobbying by Former SEC Commissioner

Professor Richard Painter was quoted in a Bloomberg Businessweek article about a former Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) commissioner who made frequent telephone calls back to the SEC on behalf of her law firm's bank clients. Painter suggested that federal ethics laws should be changed so that former SEC Commissioners are subject to a two-year ban on representing back to the SEC after they leave the Commission.
