Slog - Comments on What Was I Thinking... http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/03/what_was_i_thinking ... giving Slog's Lobbyist of the Year Award to the lone lobbyist from the Statewide Poverty Action Network, the young woman—on track to make about $21,000 a year judging from her January disclosure report— who single-handedly killed an evil bill from the loan industry and passed a landmark bill that regulates the loan industry? Silly me. Obviously, Slog's Lobbyist of the Year Award should have gone to a much more influential and powerful crowd: The 12-lobbyist team for the Building Industry Association of Washington. So, congratulations to Elliot Swaney, Tom McCabe, Trent Matson, Andrew Cook, Thomas Kwieciak, Eric Lohnes, Brian...

I like the one of her draped across a limo she gave to somebody's campaign in return for influence peddling ...

There's a lobbyist picture directory, but I can't get my computer to upload it.

You know, take you out to dinner, butter you up some, whisper sweet lobbyist nothings in your ear......

While I know that Kim doesn't make a lot of money, I hope she's making more than $21,000 per year working for SPAN. If not, then I hope she'll be able to leverage her good work for more money there -- or somewhere else.

You've seen the state Senate in session, you should know this.

Teh trolls. Do not feed.
