Karas: The goals of lobbying laws should be full disclosure: lobbyists should register (for a period of longer than one year, or every year), monitor and report their meetings, and eliminate any gift giving. PA should lead the country with these reforms, we have been followers too long. It has been reported that PA is last in diclosure laws. We should be first. Legislative members should: 1) not be allowed to vote if there is a conflict of interest with themselves or any relative, 3) minutes of all lobbyists meetings should be kept by both parties and be available in public record.

  • Karas: The goals of lobbying laws should be full disclosure: lobbyists should register (for a period of longer than one year, or every year), monitor and report their meetings, and eliminate any gift giving. PA should lead the country with these reforms, we have been followers too long. It has been reported that PA is last in diclosure laws. We should be first. Legislative members should: 1) not be allowed to vote if there is a conflict of interest with themselves or any relative, 2) should not be allowed to work for lobbying firms at any time after serving in elected or appointed positions (this should include immediate family), and 3) minutes of all lobbyists meetings should be kept by both parties and be available in public record. We should establish a maximum amount any lobbying group can spend. It is no coincidence that gambling lobbying costs have increased to four times what they have been in the past. Now PA legislatures are linked to Jack Abramoff contributors. This is Democracy for sale and the people of PA are worse off because of it. Those without healthcare and working at minimum wage jobs do not hire lobbyists.
