HK: Friend heads off to the farm rather than the Farm Bureau
We don’t often note the retirement of lobbyists, even our longtime friends….but this one comes with a story.
Maybe
a dozen years ago as Quorum Report was breaking out as
THE online real time source for Texas political news, yours truly was always
running at least 70 mph, especially as we approached that arbitrary daily
target of getting the blast out by 5.
And
so it was that I skimmed a press release too quickly. It was referring to long time KL
Gates lobbyist Larry McGinnis
working on a project for the Texas Farm Bureau. Instead, I reported that McGinnis was going
to work FOR the Farm Bureau.
