Wall Street, financial firms go on lobbying hiring spree as control of Washington shifts
(From CNBC)
Wall Street and financial firms across the country are hiring a legion of lobbyists as Democrats — who now control the White House, the Senate and the House — prepare to rein in their industry with tighter regulations and increased scrutiny.
These companies include private equity juggernaut Blackstone, credit card and banking company Discover Financial Services, consumer credit reporting giant Equifax, and tech-driven stock exchange Members Exchange. The latter company’s investors include BlackRock, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley.
