Two brief items from the revolving door between business and policy-making:
1) Legistorm–an excellent source for data on the salaries, personal finances, and travel of congressmen and staffers–has an interesting blog post up now on David B. Krone, a former vice president at Comcast and the National Cable Television Association. Krone earned $5 million last year, including $3 million in salary from Comcast, and then he left that gig to be a senior advisor to Harry Reid, the Senate’s majority leader.
2) Margaret Sidney Ashworth, who was a top Senate Appropriations Committee staffer, has cashed out, becoming a defense lobbyist. This week, she registered the Ashworth Group and her first three clients: Raytheon, Boeing, and General Dynamics.
