Another Republican writes the regulations to screw you, then sells that expertise to industry
No, not Medicare. This time, it's the over-time regulations!
Of course, this is just standard operating procedure for these guys, so move along, people, move along. There's no story here....
[Tammy McCutchen] was the head of the Department's Wage and Hour Division, overseeing the creation of the overtime rules that are scheduled to take effect next month. She testified before Congress on the regulations in late April and left her government job on June 11. The new rules take effect Aug. 23.
"As you may be aware, the firm of Dickstein, Shapiro announced publicly on June 15, 2004, that Ms. McCutchen ... will focus her practice on counseling clients on employment matters, particularly those related to wage and hour issues, including the new FSLA (overtime) regulations," [Rep. George Miller, D-Calif] wrote.
