Controversy earns lobbyists plenty in Maryland 1990
ANNAPOLIS AP A vetoed bill extending asbestos suit filing deadlines emerged as a top, costly fight of the 1990 session. More than a dozen lobbyists collected at least 244000 from groups backing or opposing the measure, which would have revived a 20 year statute of limitations on asbestos related lawsuits. The disclosure shows Rifkin Evans Silver and Lamone split 40440 in fees, with other top earners including Bruce Bereano and Franklin Goldstein. Lobbying surged also over a new state lottery computer system and a bid to curb IBM competitive contracts, with payments from G TECH Control Data and Apple Computer. The governor also shifted positions on a triplicate prescription program, backing drug utilization review instead.
