Politico: “The White House is poised to reverse a key part of its ban on registered lobbyists serving in government. The Office of Management and Budget will release a new rule on Wednesday expected to allow registered lobbyists to participate in policymaking deliberations in an advisory role.”

This rule was part of an early Obama White House attempt to limit the power of lobbyists in the White House.  I discuss and critique those rules in Lobbying, Rent Seeking and the Constitution (Stanford Law Review).

Craig Holman comments on the OMB reversal.
