A shareholder advocate -- I wasn't paying enough attention to get his name -- was on CNBC saying that, political skills notwithstanding, Harvey Pitt was the best SEC commissioner in his lifetime. In particular, he mentioned proposals to decrease restrictions on shareholder resolutions and requiring mutual funds to disclose how they vote their proxies (though I don't really understand the reasoning behind that).
I'd heard something like this before, too, around the time he resigned. Mostly vague, though.
