Harrisburg Lobbyists See Little Reform In Public Disclosure Plan
Harrisburg lobbyists say a bill mandating quarterly sworn disclosures of lobbying expenses would add paperwork without curbing influence. The proposal, led by House Speaker Herbert Fineman, would broaden registration, ban contingent fees, and raise penalties while aiming to restore public trust in state government. Critics fear vague scope and duplicative filings, noting present laws require semiannual political activity reports and that executive branch lobbyists wield greater influence.
