Under The Influence: Question Raised on Lobbyist's Tie to Obey http://undertheinfluence.nationaljournal.com/2009/01/lobbyist-ties-to-obey-raise-qu.php?rss=1 en Copyright 2012 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 20:30:19 GMT http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification Question Raised on Lobbyist's Tie to Obey The Washington Times has a front page piece today reporting that Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., the ranking member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has called for an investigation into the $2.25 billion allocated for national parks in the $819 billion stimulus bill passed by the House on Wednesday. The chief lobbyist for the National Parks Conservation Association (which, among other things, advocates for national park funding) is Craig Obey, son of House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, D-Wis.

"It really does beg the question of, is this an earmark, is this a family connection and should it have been disclosed at least in the spirit of what the Democrats said they wanted, and the answer is it should have been disclosed," Issa told the Times.

According to the newspaper, a spokesman for the NPCA said Craig Obey "never lobbies his father," and a spokesman for Rep. Obey said the funding of the parks had nothing to do with the congressman's relationship with his son.

Many thanks for the marvelous blog posting! I found your post very interesting, I believe you are a excellent writer. I added your blog to my bookmarks and will return in the future to your blog. Keep up that exciting job, have a great daytime! If you have an apple and I have an apple and we trade these apples then you and I do not learn anything. But when you have got an orange and I have a pear, we are able to gain knowledge from each other. In other words, thank you for the knowledge I learned a whole lot :]
