Breaking News Alert The New York Times Fri, March 12, 2010 -- 1:37 PM ET ----- White House Identifies 3 to Fill Vacancies on Federal Reserve Board Moving quickly to put its mark on the Federal Reserve, the White House on Friday identified two economists and a lawyer as its choices to fill all three vacancies on the central bank's board of governors. The economists are Janet L. Yellen, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, who is the top choice for vice chairman, and Peter A. Diamond, an M.I.T. economist who is an authority on Social Security, pensions and taxation. The lawyer, Sarah Bloom Raskin, is the Maryland commissioner of financial regulation. The Obama administration stopped short of saying that it would formally nominate all three to the Senate, stating only that Ms. Yellen was "a leading contender" and that Mr. Diamond and Ms. Raskin were "under consideration."

Reflections on the passing of at-large member Jean Cryor
Annual Letter from the President "We’re on a roll! Let’s keep it going! So far in 2009 Member Nancy Navarro was elected to the County Council, and Member Marye Wells-Harley was appointed to the Planning Board. Let’s see what else we can accomplish in 2009 and for the elections in 2010. And we’re not just thinking politics: we’re looking across the spectrum at leadership roles in the boardrooms, offices and communities of Montgomery County. We’ll do it by networking and strategizing at events designed to bring our leaders together." |
