That's good for a laugh !!!!!!!
With these qualifications,Bereano will next be running for Governor of Maryland and then on to President of the U.S. on the Democratic ticket.
The agreement is outlined in a letter to the client last fall by Bereano, who has battled his way back from a federal fraud conviction to regain his position as one of the state's highest-earning lobbyists.
Late that year, however, he suffered a serious setback when a federal jury convicted him on mail fraud charges in connection with a scheme to funnel illegal campaign contributions to Maryland politicians.
The sentence severely limited his ability to lobby during the 1999 legislative session, but he earned $305,000 during that six-month reporting period.
In 2000, the Court of Appeals disbarred Bereano because of the federal conviction.
