SUPPORT HF 346 I support this bill as it restricts or limits tax payer funded lobbying. Personally, I would want to ban tax payer funded lobbying all together. Unlike a regular individual or small business trying to influence a law or legislator, political lobbyists are paid to influence. That influence by tax payer funded lobbyists does NOT represent the wants and needs of the people. We want smaller government, and we want these political subdivisions to be fiscally responsible. This is essentially one government lobbying another, and where is the voice of the people?
