McCain pushing for tougher lobbying rules
McCain pushing for tougher lobbying rules : "Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain is a very busy guy during Congress' Christmas break. The Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal in Washington has McCain pushing hard for increased reporting requirements for corporate and other lobbyists.
McCain and Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) want to force lobbyists to disclose their financial activities quarterly instead of twice a year and they want to make former lawmakers and staffers wait longer before they can lobby ex-employers."
