Former Rep. Jim Nussle, R-Iowa, who also was director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, has entered the lobbying game. His consultancy, the Nussle Group, has registered its first lobbying deal, representing the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce on transportation funding. Nussle himself is not registered to lobby, but his former congressional Chief of Staff Christopher Bliley (also a former associate administrator at the Environmental Protection Agency) is the official lobbyist on the account.
