COMMISSIONER FRANK CHANGES TONE
Following a week dominated by his controversial remarks about Occupy Wall Street that got him death threats and landed him on MSNBC, Commissioner Steve Frank is working on a new way to discuss things publicly. He wrote on his public Facebook wall:
Perhaps my statements are made too pointedly; I'm woking on Steve 2.0 One realization that has come to me, some of the ferocious tenacity that is in me and led me to where I am today, may need to be channeled in a more subtle way. That's not because I believe less ardently in my views, but because I plan on being more effective in carrying them out.|
