OPENSECRETS.ORG ADDS TOOL TO MONITOR WASHINGTON'S "REVOLVING DOOR"
As the 110th Congress opens by debating ethics reforms and ways to slow
the "revolving door" between Capitol Hill and K Street lobbying firms,
the Center for Responsive Politics has added a new feature to
OpenSecrets.org that profiles thousands of individuals who have worked
in both the federal government and the private sector. Launched today,
the new Revolving Door Database is the most comprehensive source to date
for learning who's who in the Washington influence industry, and for
uncovering how these people's government connections afford them
privileged access to those in power.
