Scott Brown rakes in Wall Street cash in exchange for slowing reform

Same old, same old. Is less regulation really what America is begging for these days?

From mid-June until the Fourth of July, according to a Globe analysis of his campaign finance reports, the Massachusetts senator took in $140,000 from banks and investment firms and their executives, including companies based in the state, such as MassMutual and State Street Corp. That is 400 percent more than the $28,000 received on average by all Republican senators during the same three weeks.

Oh, yeah. Brown is such a new kind of thug. :sarcasm:

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
