We’ve talked before about the army of high-priced lobbyists trying to secure a government-sanctioned monopoly for the Potawatomi in the State Capitol. Well, it turns out that one is priced a little higher than the others.Wisconsin Ethics Board records show one lobbyist was paid $39,000 between January and June 2007 to carry Potawatomi’s message in
That’s right. Potawatomi paid one lobbyist $39,000 for 6.5 hours of work. We know Potawatomi has spared no expense to squash competition and maintain its monopoly, but $6,000 an hour? Must be really persuasive.

This is sickening. How many Menominee children could have been fed with $39,000 during that same time? The Potawatami clearly have money to waste...their monopoly is not serving them or the state well. (Altho' the lobbyists are doing O.K.!) Bring on the competition!
