Who Knows but What Lobbyists Wouldn't Learn to Like the Openness

   As you might know, I've thought some on what it would be like if the public were invited along every time a lobbyist sat down to talk to a government official. Maybe it would be, the public would only be invited when prospective legislation is discussed. No matter on the specifics of whether the public comes along all the time, or just some of the time.  At any rate, the public would be there live and also on the Internet.
  And, I've wondered how lobbyists would take this. Now, among all the lobbyists, there are  a number with good causes and good hearts.
   Yet, they might be apprehensive of having their meetings opened to everyone.
   Here's my thought:  Even though they might feel a reluctance at first, they might well find they like the public tagging along. Even though it might change what they do, and how they speak, and what they say -- they might grow to like it. And some of them, for all we know, already could have their meetings open to the public, without making any changes.
