As the
Washington Post told us last Thursday, Rick Santorum has resumed his meetings with lobbyists just weeks after saying he would put an end to them. The question now is, what was discussed at the latest meeting? It seems there are conflicting reports as to the subject of the meetings. The interesting part is that the differing reports come from Rick and his spokesperson.
Here's how the
Bucks County Courier Times puts it:
Friday, Santorum said the meetings were not about the Republican agenda or job openings, but simply about his re-election campaign, such as fundraising and “get out the vote” efforts.
“That's all we talked about,” Santorum said.
However, Virginia Davis, press secretary for Santorum's campaign, was quoted in a Philadelphia Inquirer article
Friday that legislative issues were, in fact, discussed in those meetings with lobbyists.
So, which one of them is has the story straight?
