Revolving Door Offers Info on Lobbying & Government Service

AN ONLINE GUIDE TO FAST-MOVING POWER BROKERS
[SOURCE: Washington Post, AUTHOR: Elizabeth Williamson]
Revolving Door -- http://www.opensecrets.org/revolving -- can find anyone whose résumé includes government service and lobbying, legal or public affairs work. Search for a name or a former employer, or click on an administration or an agency, a lawmaker or a committee, and a stable of past staffers drops down for your sleuthing or lunching pleasure. Lists of big hitters, top agencies and firms along the left side of the site help the uninitiated. Revolving Door was created by the Center for Responsive Politics, a group that has expanded its activities beyond tracking campaign finance into operating a Web-based money and politics clearinghouse. It's paid for by the Sunlight Foundation, which sponsors activities that use technology to illuminate the power web of Washington.
