"It sort of allows me to be in a unique place to understand that." . . .The wave of new rule-making "appears to create a lot of work and opportunity for businesses that want to make sure that they have a strategic business advantage in the future, that they're planning for the future and that they can help shape those laws and legislation as they develop." According to Politico, "Klein's background as a corporate lawyer and former state and federal lawmaker means he'll be selling his ability to provide legal, political, policy and business advice to prospective clients.[9]}} Personal lifeRon married Dori Dragin in 1982 and they moved to Boca Raton, Florida in 1985.
