With the new focus on congressional "insider trading," legislation to stop it is gaining momentum. Democratic Reps. Louise Slaughter of New York and Tim Walz of Minnesota have introduced legislation to stop insider trading in Congress. But the bill, which has been introduced before, has never had more than 14 congressional sponsors.
Today, however, Sens. Scott Brown, R-Mass., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and said they will introduce the legislation in the Senate.
Now that's bipartisanship that I can get behind.
