Byron Dorgan on Making Banks Play by the Rules | Truthout

Byron Dorgan on Making Banks Play by the Rules Truthout: Bill Moyers talks with former Senator Byron Dorgan about making sure big banks play by rules that protect consumers from financial calamity, and how those big banks continue to leverage power and influence to avoid responsibility while maximizing profits.

But given the economic meltdown nearly 10 years later, it turned out to be one of the most prescient speeches in American political history.?

Commissioner withdraws NAMA Decision – The Story

Commissioner withdraws NAMA Decision – The Story: The core issue is how to read the Access to Information on the Environment (AIE) Regulations 2007.
