Galvin measure seeks to toughen rules on lobbying

Secretary William Galvin called for raised regulation of Beacon Hill lobbyists, who through the first half of this year have earned more than $33 million and are on track to match or break last year's spending level, according to reports filed this week.
Galvin filed legislation that would require the state's many registered lobbyists to provide more detailed written reports of their expenses, payments, and hours with clients.
The bill would permit the secretary's office to immediately revoke a lobbyist's license for late reports, as well as report the lobbyist to the attorney general's office for any matters requiring criminal action.

I agree with Galvin. I think that lobbying should be punished seriously because the lobbyists are people who just want to take advantage of the fact that they are rich.
