Don’t know if you read the entire article but Durbin’s son is also a lobbyist, it must be a family tradition.

For many businesses in the US right now, the highest ROI is a campaign contribution, or hiring a politically connected lobbyist.

Like the construction firm in Chicago that received bupkis in contracts for years until they placed Daley's brother on a $250K per year retainer.

Shazaam! Instant contract.

What are the chances? And the poor guy didn’t even know about it. I tell ya, it isn’t easy being a public servant.
