According to the February 19th issue of the Orlando Sentinel:"All told, corporations, unions, local governments and industry groups spent at least $97.6 million in fees on professional lobbyists to represent their interests in Tallahassee last year. The actual number is likely far more, since the state requires only that lobbying firms report the range of their fees for each client, such as between $1 and $9,999. Lobbyists were paid at least $93 million in 2006, the first year the lobbying corps was required to disclose compensation."
This is such a colossal waste of money unless, of course, some of it were going in my pocket.

Are they going to report on local lobbyist fees. If Ron Book made about half a million on the slots...what could his yearly salary be? 2 or 3 million? I am in the wrong business.
Maybe you could go work for him? He could pay you to forget how to use a computer?
