While much of the debate on Capitol Hill right now is focused on healthcare reform, the banking industry has zeroed in on another Obama administration proposal that is making its way through Congress: the financial reform bill. Bankers visited members of the House and Senate this week to protest the possible creation of a new, independent consumer financial protection regulator. Representatives and lobbyists from other financial services companies, including student loan services, hedge funds, and credit card companies are also pressing their individual agendas about the impact of the proposed legislation that is winding its way through the Senate. Also in the news: - The FDA took steps to further restrict cigarette makers' marketing efforts, following on a law passed last year that remains in dispute.
- An experiment on Twitter by Sony's PR team in Europe paid off in sales - and in customer data.
- A business coalition in California launched a campaign to overturn the state's 2006 law to limit greenhouse gases, tying its message to jobs and the economy.
