Barney Frank To Retire

Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), the eponymous co-author of the controversial Wall Street reform act, will announce later today that he will not seek reelection next year, a number of Massachusetts news outlets are reporting.
The other co-author of the bill, Sen. Chris Dodd, left Congress in January and is now the President of the Motion Picture Association of America.
Frank has served in Congress since 1981. He will make his retirement announcement at 1 p.m. in Newton, Mass.
