WASHINGTON, June 24 – Former Homeland Security Secretary, Tom Ridge, registered with the Department of Justice as a lobbyist for the government of Albania nearly two years after winning an almost half-million dollar lobbying contract, Roll Call, the Capitol Hill newspaper, has reported. “I didn’t think it was [necessary] to register,” the Capitol Hill newspaper quotes the former Pennsylvania governor and national co-chair of John McCain’s presidential campaign as saying. “It was brought to my attention after the contract expired and my lawyer said, under the circumstances, I probably should have filed,” Ridge said. Ridge registered after he was contacted by the Justice Department. (Tirana Times Staff)
