Lobbying, Political Organizations Await Stimulus Package Bailout

WASHINGTON. D.C. – House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Darrell Issa (R-CA) today expressed concern regarding the exclusion of good government provisions in the proposed Pelosi-Obey stimulus package including a failure to prohibit use of economic stimulus funds for lobbying or political activities.

“The economic stimulus should not be a bailout for lobbyists or a vehicle for political payback,” said Issa.
