P-G favors lobbyist disclosure

Lately the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has been hitting the nail square on the head regarding lobbyist disclosure and reform of Pennsylvania state government. I don’t say this because I do some work for the Post-Gazette; I say it because I believe it’s true.

As my regular readers know, I have done some coverage recently of a legislative move afoot to create a lobbyist disclosure law in Pennsylvania. The legislation is state Senate Bill 1.

On Friday, the Post-Gazette endorsed lobbyist disclosure in Pennsylvania in a creatively written editorial. The editorial called for Pennsylvanians to fight for a more representative government.

In more than one way, the editorial reminded me of a rant I wrote a while back. In that rant I spouted about how everyone should be angry about influence peddling in Pennsylvania.

By this time next year, we might know who all of the folks are that are attempting to monopolize our legislators' time.
