Ever since Georgia Republicans agreed at last month’s state convention to survey primary voters on limiting lobbyists’ spending, GOP lawmakers have climbed on the bandwagon. The outcome of the referendum seems to be inevitable. In the last two weeks, more than 60 General Assembly candidates, many who have resisted such reforms in the past, have signed a pledge to sponsor legislation that would cap a lobbyist’s gift at $100, if they are re-elected.
