Corporate Governance

Good corporate governance - pointing out corporate directors who should and shouldn't be elected anywhere. This is my attempt to keep track of good people for board of directors and keep track of people who should be avoided.

Kudos to the Cablevision special committee

Thomas V. Reifenheiser and John R. Ryan, both independent directors of Cablevision, rejected the Dolan family offer to privatize Cablevision.

Incredible kudos to the pair for actually standing up and protecting the shareholders of the firm against management who wanted to buy the firm, especially since the controlling Dolan family kicked off the last few directors who disagreed with them.

Tom Reifenheiser is also a director at Mediacom Communications (MCCC).
John Ryan is also a director at CIT Group (CIT).

Kudos and congratulations to both of you, and I hope you find new employment soon.
