Abstract

"In the Lobby" piece questioning the absence of Maine progressives at recent hearings on lobbyist reform bills. No progressive advocates were in attendance to speak in favor of the three bills: LD 1727, which would extend reporting requirements to lobbyists of executive branch officials; LD 1822, which calls for the Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices to require more information from lobbyists; and LD 1993, which would oblige paid consultants testifying on legislation to identify themselves as such. With comments on Maine Common Cause, the League of Women Voters of Maine, and the Maine Citizenship Leadership Fund.

Subjects
