This Week on Honesty Without Fear

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Lindsey Williams

Tune in today at 1:00pm EDT to Honesty Without Fear on Progressive Radio Network.

We invited candidates from one of the most hotly-contested House races, incumbent Michael Grimm and Mark Murphy, to come on the show to discuss the Grimm Act (H.R. 2483) with host Steve Kohn. The Grimm Act would reverse the corporate whistleblower protections passed in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act. Congressman Grimm did not respond to the interview request, but candidate Murphy discusses his position on the Grimm Act and whistleblower protections.

Additionally, whistleblower Eugene Ross and attorney Jordan Thomas will join Steve to weigh in on how the Grimm Act will impact corporate culture. Eugene Ross blew the whistle on corporate fraud at Bear Stearns, and Jordan Thomas is partner at Labaton Sucharow and former SEC official who worked on drafting the SEC rules for Dodd-Frank.
