Polis, Perlmutter and Markey all voted in favor of the Bean amendment to the Pay Performance Act which would have limited executive compensation at firms receiving TARP money. The amendment all but gutted the bill by exempting banks an financial institutions which which are paying back the TARP money – whether a dollar a year or all in one payment. So, you see, the amendment sets up a system so the banks can game us while these three come back an proudly announce that they voted to limit executive compensation.

Just curious.
DeGette and Coffman were the only part of our delegation to vote “no.”
Lamborn is a Republican who I expect to vote to protect executive pay.
Salazar is a well known blue dog. He’s sold out to corporate America long ago.
These three ran as progessives.
Polis ran as a progressive. Perlmutter ran as a pragmatic left of center pro-business Dem, and Betsy Markey ran as something about as far from progressive as you can get while still being a Democrat.
