- GuiA 10y agoOversight and accountability are easier in smaller organizations.
- refurb 10y agoI would argue the opposite. A smaller gov't implies a gov't with less power. Less power means less incentive for lobbyists to influence decisions.
- mywittyname 10y agoNo need to buy them off at that point because they won't be in the way. The only reason to lobby government officials is to dismantle laws that protect others at your company's expense or to put in place laws that protect your company at others' expense.
