OMB Watch - Lobby Reform: Momentum in Senate; House, Nonprofits Weigh Impact: "Lobby Reform: Momentum in Senate; House, Nonprofits Weigh Impact

After making a lot of noise about reform, lawmakers finally move to wade through the mountain of lobby and ethics reform bills and begin marking up legislation.

In the Senate, two committees are scheduled to mark up lobby reform bills the week of Feb. 27. Senate Rules and Administration Chairman Trent Lott (R-MS) has said his panel would likely mark up a lobbying reform bill on Feb. 28. Lott said the goal is to have the full Senate begin debate on the bill, which is still being written, the week of March 6."
