The state Legislature is considering measures to curtail lobbyist spending, which has no cap on what lobbyists can spend wooing lawmakers. In the past, lobbyists have shelled out thousands for dinners, football tickets and other gifts to influence members of the state legislative delegation to support their issues.
Reporter Newspapers examined reports of what lobbyists spent on our local legislators. Below is a list compiled from the state’s Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission. In some cases the reports listed gifts legislators returned and are not factored into the overall total amount listed here. See the reports at http://ethics.ga.gov/
