Hume retiring from Bond Buyer after 30 years

Lynn Hume, Washington bureau chief for The Bond Buyer, is retiring after 30 years with the publication.

She has been DC bureau chief since 2007. Before that she was regulatory affairs editor and a reporter for the paper, covering tax, securities and derivatives market practices, regulation, legislation and enforcement.

For three years before joining The Bond Buyer, she was a staff investigator for the House Government Operations Committee’s subcommittee on energy and the environment, and dealt with such issues as U.S. oil emergency preparedness, the ban on Libyan oil products, regulation of mixed chemical and nuclear waste at federal defense facilities and federal oversight of nuclear fuels plants.

Hume was a reporter for McGraw-Hill Publications for eight years prior to moving to Capitol Hill, covering energy, environmental and other issues for several of its newsletters, magazines and BusinessWeek.
