Highway bill draws $45 million in lobbying

Highway bill draws $45 million in lobbying

Quote:

Special interest groups have spent $45 million lobbying federal lawmakers so far in 2009 on issues relating to the next highway authorization bill, according to the Center for Public Integrity.

The center published its latest report on Wednesday, Sept. 16, saying the cash spent lobbying for transportation has rivaled that of climate change.

What it boils down to, according to OOIDA’s government affairs staff in Washington, DC, is that without having a dog in the fight, the interests of professional truckers could get buried in all of the noise.
