Give Michigan’s longtime Democratic senator some credit: He may actually be returning to the state he represented.
Carl Levin will join a Michigan law firm that has one lobbying client, the powerful Biotechnology Industry Organization. The firm says in its announcement:
Levin, in the announcement, explains his value to Honigman’s clients: “It will be a part of my role to help business clients navigate the path to understanding and complying with complex state and federal laws and regulations.”
Levin, through supporting laws like Obamacare and Dodd-Frank, helped make this path to complying more treacherous, and helped make “federal laws and regulations” as “complex” as they are.
A handful of his fellow 2014 retirees have also passed through the revolving door, including Mark Pryor, Mark Begich, and Saxby Chambliss.
