MADD, HSUS v. ABI, Berman & Co., Richard B. Berman
On May 11, 2010 Mothers Against Drunk Driving and The Humane Society of the United States filed a formal complaint with the New York State Commission on Public Integrity requesting an investigation into illegal lobbying activities by Washington lobbyist Rick Berman, his for-profit lobbying firm, and one of his many corporate front groups, the American Beverage Institute (ABI). New York’s lobbying law requires every lobbyist to register and report lobbying activities in excess of $5000 to the Commission. The complaint alleges ABI spent over $70,000 to purchase and publish full-page ads to influence and defeat pending legislation intended to make roadways safer by cracking down on recidivism by convicted DWI offenders.
