Groups Ask Clinton to Fight Wall Street Golden Parachutes: Hill

Groups including CREDO Action, Roostrikers, MoveOn.org want Hillary Clinton to oppose “golden parachutes” given to bank executives when they take high-ranking govt jobs, the Hill reports, citing the letter.

Groups note that Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Gov. Martin O’Malley have both called for an end to the practice
“The revolving door between government and Wall Street helps the wealthiest few hijack our democracy for their own gain,” Murshed Zaheed, deputy political director at CREDO Action, tells the Hill.
