Tillis also defended the closed-door meeting he set up with House Republican lawmakers and lobbyist on Video Poker.
Tillis’ Campaign Sent Fundraising Solicitations To Lobbyists Despite Prohibitions Against Donations. “Political fundraising requests continue to flood the in-boxes of North Carolina lobbyists, despite state campaign finance laws that make such donations illegal. At least one lobbyist recently got this email from House Speaker Thom Tillis' campaign, asking for $4,000 contributions by Sept. 14. At the bottom, a disclaimer says the campaign can't take money from lobbyists, but it asks them to ‘pass the information along to any interested parties and recommend support where appropriate.’…‘It feels like a shakedown, really,’ said Bob Hall, director of government watchdog Democracy North Carolina. Such requests pressure lobbyists to push their clients to donate to lawmakers, Hall said. ‘It's enormous pressure on someone who's doing business with someone else. If you want to continue that relationship, you've got to pony up the money,’ said Hall. ‘it’s exactly the kind of pay-for-play system that we tried to clamp down with lobbying reform several years ago.’ Under reforms passed in the 2006-07 legislative session, lobbyists cannot donate to or collect checks for campaigns themselves. But they can still advise their clients' political action committees to do so.” [WRAL, 8/21/12]
