Consumer finance policy, long runs, civic education, and more. Views all my own.
The drought is real, but still a beautiful day for the Leaf Peepers Half Marathon in Waterbury and Duxbury, Vermont!

And, still a flatlander in need of more hill workouts…

Celebrating this Public Service Recognition Week from a new vantage point! #PSRW

After all the CFPB tumult this year (fired, reinstated, RIF’d, un-RIF’d) I recently started a new role at the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation.

Still watching finreg, but now from this brave little state!

As seen in Northern Virginia—I sense a story here.

Went to the Capitol for the viewing in state of President Carter, extra-tranquil in the snow.

The only admin (per Eizenstat’s biography) to have a WH special assistant for consumer affairs, and the one that enacted CRA and EFTA.

May we continue to strive for a government as good as its people…

Last week, I was thrilled to be back at the Treasury Department to hear Secretary Yellen, CFPB Director Chopra, and others set out a vision for financial inclusion.

Progress made… and so very much that still needs to be done to have a financial system that works for everyone.
