pass far-reaching changes to the rules of lobbying on Capitol Hill, House
Republican members pushed back hard against those proposals yesterday,
charging that their leaders are overreacting to a growing corruption
scandal.

In a tense, 3 1/2 -hour closed-door session, many Republicans challenged
virtually every element of the leadership’s proposal, from a blanket ban on
privately funded travel to stricter limits on gifts to an end to gym
privileges for lawmakers-turned-lobbyists. Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz.), a

greedy to go after it. They just love to lie to the American people.
