“Government can only be accountable if taxpayers can see what they are buying
and how much they are paying for it.”
Legislative Committee Finds Lobbyist Groves Broke Ethics Rule
Luis Toro, senior counsel of Ethics Watch, released the following statement in response:
“Mr. Groves demonstrated a lapse of judgment that caused a diversion from vital legislative work and a drain of scarce taxpayer resources. We are pleased that the committee recognized the severity of this unethical conduct and put the lobbying community on notice that such conduct will not be tolerated. We also commend Representatives May and Acree for bringing this issue forward. It is apparent from all of this that lobbyists must be required to undergo ethics training before they are allowed to engage in lobbying activities.”
