LIEBERMAN ONE OF ONLY TWO DEMOCRATS TO VOTE AGAINST ORIGINAL LOBBYIST GIFT BAN THAT MAY HAVE PREVENTED ABRAMOFF SCANDALS

On 1/5/95, Lieberman was one of only two Democrats to join with Republicans to vote down legislation that, according to the Boston Globe, “would have barred senators and congressmen from accepting meals, gifts and entertainment from lobbyists.” [Senate Roll Call Vote #3, 1/5/95; Boston Globe, 1/6/95]
