Senator Michael Bennet has seemingly renounced lobbyists and the fine art of lobbying with his contribution to an ethics-inspired set of amendments submitted to his senate colleagues:Not to be outdone, freshman Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) offered an amendment that would impose a lifetime ban on lawmakers ever becoming federal lobbyists. Since the Senator presumably would apply this rule to all Americans, and knowing he would only submit amendments with the full intent they pass congress and are signed into law, one can only presume he will hold himself to this same strict standard. Bottom line: I expect that Michael Bennet will hold to this principle and never become a lobbyist once his term of office completes.
Or, this could be just another P.R. move by a senator who has learned the broken ways of our capital well enough to denounce them at the same time he uses them to his political advantage. I certainly hope it's the former and not the latter....I fear he would be a much better lobbyist than senator. |
