BOSTON - Karyn Polito today announced a plan to close the “revolving door” at the state treasurer’s office as part of a broader policy initiative to impose higher ethical standards at the state treasury.
Polito says she will prohibit treasury employees from leaving employment and returning to lobby or solicit business from the treasury for the entire length of her term of office.
“It’s time for Beacon Hill to clean up its act,” Polito said. “In some cases that means we will have to go further than what the law requires to reassure people that decisions are made based on sound objective reasoning and not politics as usual. This is the good government approach I brought with me to the Statehouse and it’s the same good government approach I will bring to the treasury.”
