Pittsburgh Escorts: Mass. Rep. Barney Frank to retire
November 29, 2011
Mr. Frank later was the co-author of legislation, along with then-Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., that tightened the regulatory net on those same institutions, an act that has been savaged by Republican presidential candidates this year as a drag on job creation. Republicans also have frequently blamed Mr. Frank for the subprime mortgage crisis because of his close ties with mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, a charge that Mr. Frank has regularly denied.
At a news conference Monday in Newton, Mass., Mr. Frank cited the redrawn congressional map in Massachusetts as a factor in his decision to retire after 16 terms. The revised district — along with voters’ anti-incumbent mood — might have triggered a difficult re-election fight that would have demanded the kind of intense fundraising that Mr. Frank said he dislikes.
Mr. Frank is also the best-known openly gay politician in America. He revealed his sexual orientation early in his career, almost 25 years ago. In 1990, he was formally reprimanded by the House for his association with a male prostitute.
