Here’s the Salaries of Some Lobbyists

These are the salaries of 2 lobbyists that represent associations of counties, cities and school boards:

$204,000 a year, plus 1 Ford Explorer
$196,000 a year, plus 1 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee

These 2 along with others from 20 states will get government pensions when they retire because of 1 weird old law that says that even though they are private employees, because they represent public orgs, they get free money.

I mean, there’s so much other stuff to get pissed about, this doesn’t really register for me — it’s not like they’re oil lobbyists right — but some people are pissed about it so maybe you want to be pissed about it, too. Also maybe we all should have been lobbyists. Ha, duh.
