Fred Hill: From Local Ways & Means to City Lobbyist

The following article by TexasWatchdog.org exposes former Representative Fred Hill for seeking out city lobby contracts while still representing his constituents.  

Here is a portion: 

"Critics of the revolving door say voters and taxpayers are unable to tell when lawmakers stop thinking like lawmakers and start thinking like someone on the hunt for a job.

Hill began thinking about a lobbying job in the months before he left the legislature. He announced around the middle of last year that he wouldn’t seek re-election. He registered his firm, a limited liability corporation called Solutions for Local Control, with the Secretary of State’s office on Nov. 20, records show."
