Financial reform bill passes
WASHINGTON — Congress on Thursday passed the stiffest restrictions on banks and Wall Street since the Great Depression, clamping down on lending practices and expanding consumer protections to prevent a repeat of the 2008 meltdown that knocked the economy to its knees. A year in the making and 22 months after the collapse of Lehman Brothers triggered a worldwide panic in credit and other markets, the bill cleared its final hurdle with a 60-39 Senate vote. It now goes to the White House for President Barack Obama’s signature, expected as early as Wednesday.By By Jim Kuhnhenn, The Associated Press , July 16, 2010
Letter to the editor: Strong reforms needed to muzzle companies
Strong financial reform is needed as never before. Left unregulated, too many financial institutions and wealthy corporations have become irresponsible and arrogantly self-serving. The result has been an economic disaster for the country, but a boon for those whose reckless management mimics that of self-centered individuals too engrossed in themselves to be aware of other peoples’ rights. The time has come to demonstrate a maturity that takes into consideration the common good.By Maris Stella Korb , May 24, 2010

Letter to the editor: Reform needed now in U.S. financial services industry
Congress has more work to do. As critical as reforming our health insurance system is to stabilizing the nation’s long-term economic outlook, it is just as vital that Congress reform and strengthen the rules by which our nation’s financial services industry operates.By Bruce Hagen , April 16, 2010
TARP watchdog: Risk too high
The government’s response to the financial meltdown has made it more likely the United States will face a deeper crisis in the future, an independent watchdog at the Treasury Department warned. The problems that led to the last crisis have not yet been addressed, and in some cases have grown worse, says Neil Barofsky, the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP.

Letter to the editor: Proper financial documentation is important
I can understand Loren Kittelson’s frustration with city government (referring to his letter to the editor published in The Jamestown Sun on Dec. 4). In September, an official copy of a resolution passed by the City Council for a $75,000 Flex PACE interest buy down loan to Dean Hafner was on my desk for my approval signature several times. Each time I returned it to our city administrator, Jeff Fuchs, to have Jamestown/ Stutsman Development Corp. provide adequate financial documentation from Hafner for our city records. This information was not forthcoming.By Mayor Clarice Liechty , December 10, 2009
