Vilsack's Seen As "Revolving Door" Example

In an article titled, "Vilsack's Revolving Door On Energy," the Washington Times reports President-elect Barack Obama "promised to expand the nation's renewable energy sources and close the 'revolving door' that allows top officials to profit by moving between government and the businesses it regulates." But his "appointment of Tom Vilsack as agriculture secretary may test the limits of both of those promises. During his days as Iowa's governor, Mr. Vilsack provided a classic example of the revolving door that helps politicians benefit both politically and personally from their government contacts."
