Top 25 Hired Guns
Texas’ lobby disclosure rules have several
shortcomings. Co-workers serving the same client for the same lobby firm
each sometimes report the full value of the contract (resulting in double
counting); other times they pro-rate the amount among each individual lobbyist.
This study reports the contracts as they are reported to the Texas Ethics
Commission.
