On Government Reform: Restrictions & disclosure requirements on lobbyists

Casey’s plan would require lobbyists to disclose on the Internet details about conversations with members of Congress on the same day they occur. It also would require former members to wait two years to lobby on Capitol Hill, and require politicians to reimburse corporations who fly them on private jets for the price of a private jet flight - not just for the price of a first-class ticket. Casey said his plan would help abolish the “culture of corruption” in Washington.
