National Journal's Under the Influence

Friday, January 23, 2009 11:08 AM

From National Journal's Jan. 24 issue. (subscription required)

  • As President Obama begins his first term in office, the former candidate who railed against the influence of lobbyists is now employing former lobbyists, some of whom were working on K Street just a few months ago, Bara Vaida reports.
  • For more than two years, a coalition of banks has held firm against legislation in Congress that would make it easier for bankruptcy judges to alter the terms of home mortgages. But as the nation's financial collapse continues and banks report billions of dollars in losses, cracks have developed in the opposition led by the Financial Services Roundtable and the Mortgage Bankers Association, Congress Daily's Bill Swindell writes for National Journal.
  • Jason Hill is Wal-Mart's new director for federal government relations, focusing on health care. He succeeds Kate Sullivan Hare, who left to start her own consulting firm, Gregg Sangillo reports.
  • In addition, Israel (Izzy) Klein is wrapping up his duties as deputy staff director for communications at the Joint Economic Committee chaired by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and will join the Podesta Group as a principal in February, writes Winter Casey.

Obama's restrictions on federally registered lobbyists -- barring them from federal boards, restricting their work in the administration, requiring further disclosure -- have sent them "underground," as the New York Times put it. Lobbyists keep lobbying. Some just don't register anymore.
