lobby for pork?

Matt Salmon continues to leave many unanswered questions about
his role in lobbying for "access to and coverage of specialty pharmaceuticals"
in Obamacare. Mr. Salmon lobbied on behalf of two multi-billion dollar
pharmaceutical companies that are members of PhRMA, a group that spent $150
million to help pass Obamacare. These two companies were loyal clients of Mr.
Salmon's, following him from Policy Impact Communications to Upstream Consulting
the lobbying firm that Mr. Salmon founded.
Now we learn that during this same time, Matt Salmon entered into a $300,000 lobbying contract to bring pork barrel stimulus money to the city of El Mirage. At a town hall meeting the Mayor of El Mirage explained to residents why the city hired lobbyist Matt Salmon, "$300,000 is also a drop in the bucket compared to the stimulus funds that other cities…receive. The reason they receive that money is because every other city has a lobbyist firm…has representatives that work for them at the state and at the federal level getting money to bring back to their city…we all hear of them as pet projects, those sorts of things."

About
Kirk AdamsKirk Adams is a husband, father,
and small business owner. He is a partner at the Adams Agency, which has been
ranked the #1 insurance agency by Ranking Arizona. Adams is a life long resident
of the East Valley. After joining the state House in 2006, he became so
frustrated by the unwillingness and inability of Republicans in the Legislature
to stand up for their conservative principles that he launched a long-shot
campaign to oust the veteran Speaker of the House. Adams shocked the Republican
establishment and political class, winning the Speakership at only 35 years of
age. Adams turned the tide in the House and put Arizona back on the path to
fiscal responsibility with an aggressive agenda of reform, courageously taking
on some of the most challenging issues in Arizona.
