We also caught up with Rick Thompson, a former Director of the State Ethics Commission, who founded and serves as Managing Partner for RTA Political Management Group. Here’s a link to the audio. Again, the money quote:
The State of Georgia for many years has had an issue with individuals lobbying, yet refusing to register and report. House Bill 142 is a direct attempt to prevent unregistered lobbyist from lobbying and limiting gifts to elected officials. With this bill, the State of Georgia will be at the forefront of lobbyist transparency.
