The issues
Article Abstract:
Lobbying is a growing industry as the number of registered lobbyists in Washington has more than doubled from 10,000 in 1996 to 26,013 in mid-July and clients seeking help in influencing Congress and the federal agencies paid the lobbyists 2 billion dollars. A controversy over tens of millions of dollars in fees paid to Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff by Native American tribes seeking to keep their legal casinos flourishing is a setback for the lobbyists despite their success.
