Sept16/ Warren anti-corruption plan central to her campaign

Feels like this New York speech was months ago, but, it’s only been 3 weeks. Some back then said they highly doubted govt corruption would be an issue this election. I believe govt corruption is always a prominent issue because it can determine the outcome of every other issue that matters to our daily lives.

NEW YORK — Elizabeth Warren has released a sweeping anti-corruption proposal, providing a detailed policy road map for a fight she says is at the core of her presidential campaign.
The Democratic senator from Massachusetts is announcing the plan Monday in Manhattan’s Washington Square Park, near the site of the Triangle Shirtwaist Co. factory, which caught fire in 1911, killing 140-plus workers. Many of those deaths later were attributed to neglected safety features, such as doors that were locked inside the factory.

Warren’s plan would ban lobbyists from many fundraising activities and serving as political campaign bundlers, tighten limits on politicians accepting gifts or payment for government actions, and bar senior officials and members of Congress from serving on for-profit boards.

It also would prohibit federal judges from avoiding misconduct investigations by leaving their posts, prevent courts from sealing settlements in public health and safety cases and ban class-action waivers for all cases involving employment, consumer protection, antitrust and civil rights.
