The supercommittee’s K Street connections
Nearly 100 former aides to members of the new budget-cutting “supercommittee” now work as K Street lobbyists, often representing clients with a vested interest in the panel’s decisions. A half dozen former lobbyists are also currently employed by the lawmakers. The connections mean that many lobbyists are now trying to convince their former employers to go easy on their corporate clients.
