MEMORANDUM

Posted:	September 8, 2014 02:33 PM
From:	Representative Eli Evankovich
To:	All House members
Subject:	Registered Lobbyist Ban

In the near future, I plan to introduce legislation to prohibit any person who has served prison time or been convicted of a felony from being able to become a registered lobbyist. The prohibition would stipulate that the offense be related to a crime committed while serving in a capacity as a public servant (elected, appointed, or employed.) For too long, decisions in government have eroded the trust of the voters and this simple measure would help to restore confidence in government.
