Former U.S. Regulators Helped Quash Toyota Investigations

Propublica.org:

Two former regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration took a spin through the revolving door and landed at Toyota, where they helped quash at least four NHTSA investigations into unintended acceleration, Bloomberg News
reports.

The former regulators, Christopher Tinto and Christopher Santucci, both joined Toyota directly from the NHTSA, Tinto in 1994 and Santucci in 2003. Tinto is now vice president of regulatory affairs in Toyota’s Washington office, and Santucci works under him.
