Legislative Benefits - Still more on "Legislator to Lobbyist" slowdown bill gets cold shoulder
Updating this ILB entry from Jan. 20th, Indianapolis Star columnist Matthew Tully writes again today on the revolving door in Indiana between legislators and lobbyists. Aquote:
The Statehouse is full of one-time legislators who now lobby their former colleagues. The phenomenon is neither new nor limited to Indiana. But unlike many other states, Indiana doesn't even try to slow the legislative revolving door, which contributes to the cozy relationship between lobbyists and lawmakers.The two most recent lawmakers-turned-lobbyists were re-elected to the House in 2006. Both served less than half of their terms and are now working for big-name lobbying firms.
