It has been reported that it may be more likely in the upcoming 110th Congress for changes in lobbying and ethics rules. According to BNA (subscription required) on November 9, six reform groups, the Campaign Legal Center, Common Cause, Democracy 21, League of Women Voters, Public Citizen, and U.S. PIRG held a press conference commending Pelosi's promise to quickly take up ethics and lobbying reforms. Exit polls reveal that scandals were a major issue in the election, opening up opportunity to bring up such legislation.
