Bill Galvin

It’s not easy being transparent and Bill Galvin, Secretary of State,  has pulled off a triumph in the state wide transparency challenge with his office’s web site that helps public policy advocates decide if and when they should register as lobbyists and how to report their activities and expenses.

One of the key ethics reforms passed last year contain big changes in the lobbying laws that specifically define “lobbying activities” and define exactly who must register as an executive or legislative lobbyist. All in response to a bunch of bad guys who disgraced the profession of lobbyists.
