I’ve said it once. I’ll say it again: The reason lobbyists exist is because the gov has control over too much money. Keep the money with the people and the lobbyists won’t be so interested in lobbying.
I think it was CA Renter who suggested (paraphrased) that those who work for the government or receive any kind of pay from the government should not be allowed to lobby. It’s a difficult thing to regulate but the idea makes alot of sense to me.
