• Former financial services staffers find employment on K Street

  Posted by LegiStorm on Dec. 30, 2009
  Nearly half of the staffers who have left the powerful House Financial Services Committee in the last decade have registered as lobbyists, according to a report yesterday by the Huffington Post.

Often staffers leave their position writing financial laws to represent key players in the financial services industry. One former staffer called it "a logical progression" for people who understand the legislative process. Others described the moves as "cashing out," using experience on an influential committee as a stepping stone to a higher-paying job in the private sector. read more
