THIS TOWN — There’s a special interest for everything. Even inefficient means of disseminating information.

“As the Obama administration pushes to do more business over the Internet, finally seeking to close the technology gap with the private sector, the digital makeover is running into a dogged opponent called Consumers for Paper Options.
“The group is working the halls of Congress in closed-door meetings, underwriting research favorable to its position and mounting a news media campaign in an effort to preserve Washington as the capital of paper — and slow the move away from printed checks, forms and other paper communication.”

In 2012, I wrote about the paper lobby and the metals lobby fighting over the dollar coin.
