“A Blow to Mary Schapiro”
Posted by Larry Doyle on September 24th, 2010 8:20 AM |
The battle for truth, transparency, and integrity within the ring of our economic landscape is nothing short of a 15-round heavyweight brawl. With many rabbit punches thrown by those embedded in the Wall Street-Washington incestuous relationship parried and countered by those who want the aforementioned virtues, this encounter would be great entertainment if it were not so serious and impactful on our nation’s well being. Breaking news last night clearly had the judges giving the most recent round in this pugilistic engagement to those in the transparency corner. Let’s wind the tape and get after it.
With news that both Houses of Congress have now voted to repeal the SEC’s exemption from FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests, our ongoing pursuit of truth, transparency, and integrity won a round — but not yet the fight — yesterday. For those unaware of this story, I will offer some highlights, add some between round commentary, AND then ask the hard hitting questions you will most assuredly not see elsewhere.
