The Company He Keeps

From the 12/30/04 Kansas City Star comes this bland statement:

Reinforcements

Jared Craighead is leaving Washington to be a senior policy adviser to Missouri Gov.-elect Matt Blunt. A former aide to Blunt's father, House Majority Whip Roy Blunt, Craighead had recently been working at lobbying firm Cassidy & Associates.

Cassidy & Associates is no mom-and-pop lobbying firm - they are one of the biggest and most successful firms in achieving goals that are against the public interest. Their Bragsheet reads like a rogue's gallery of wasteful government spending and corporate give-aways, and they're proud of it.
