Orszag's family ties

As an FYI, newly announced OMB head Peter Orszag's brother, Jonathan Orszag, donated $28,500 to Obama's joint-fundraising efforts. In 2007, he donated $4,600 to Hillary Clinton's campaign, though $2,300 of that donation, earmarked for her failed general election bid, was refunded in August.

Jonathan is currently a senior managing director and on the executive committee for Compass Lexecon, a economic consulting firm with a number of corporate and government clients, including the Justice and Transportation Departments and the Federal Trade Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Federal Communications Commission, according to its Web site. Previously, he was assistant to the secretary of Commerce and director of the Office of Policy and Strategic Planning, and served on the National Economic Council during the Clinton Administration.
