129. When the coal lobbyists "got" to Rahm, we ended up with more devastating mountaintop removal.
Rahm was allowed to over-rule Obama's own EPA.

Unfortunately, it's too late to fix those mountains that have been utterly destroyed. What I would like to know is will this policy of blowing up mountains be reversed now that the coal lobbyists have supposedly been banned.

Will the government finally be able to negotiate with drug companies to bring down the cost of medicine now that the drug company lobbyists have supposedly been banned?

How many other policies, such as kowtowing to the big banks and big agribusiness, will reverse course? Only if I see change in this regard, will this lobbying reform really matter to me.
