Legislators and Lobbyists

A veteran legislative hand and former lobbyist offers this perspective on how Raleigh has changed:
 
“If you want to really understand today’s political world, understand how the politicians view the role of lobbyists.
 
“Democrats see lobbyists as a source of information to help them make a decision.
 
“Republicans see lobbyists as a source of funding to help them win the next election.
 
“It’s as simple as that.”
