The Denver Post: The people who are paid to influence policy in Denver city government may soon have to publicly report a lot more about their activities.
Lobbyists who try to influence Mayor Mike Johnston’s administration or City Council members are currently required to register only their names and their clients. But how much they’re being paid, whom they’re lobbying, and what issue they’re supporting or opposing remain totally unsaid in the city’s registry.
That would all change under a proposal the council began considering last week. Besides requiring more detailed disclosures about lobbying activity, the measure would create a “cooling-off period” for former elected officials who want to become lobbyists.
