Wisconsin considers stricter lobbying controls and council expansion
In Madison two bills seek tougher oversight of professional lobbyists and state employees who lobby on state time. The first bill holds employers liable for violations by their lobbyists and blocks hiring new lobbyists when charges are pending. The second bans state workers on state time from lobbying and requires detailed reports of any induced lobbying. Separately, legislators propose expanding the Legislative Council with three new members and proportional Democratic representation. A bill hikes penalties for overloaded trucks, and Vernon Thomson proposes a national constitutional convention on foreign affairs for voter decision in 1950.
