Talk about a run of bad press

Bloomberg has a lengthy article recounting possible connections between the National Highway Safety Administration (NHSA) and Toyota. The connections were two former employees of NHSA who joined Toyota in fairly good positions. Christopher Tinto is Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and Christopher Santucci works for him. Both have lobbied NHSA on Toyota's behalf particularly with regard to safety issues, such as those now in the press. Both were good at their jobs as they were able to kill investigations concerning the safety of Toyotas.
