[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] some people don't want it to spoil the view from their oceanside "cottages"... others are competitors (in some way or another) to the company that wants to build the project... the Alaska reps are representing oil interests... alot of the lobbying moneys come from places no one can see... Trent Lott just quit his US Senate seat in MS cuz he has over a million$ in his campaign fund. He cannot legally spend that money on himself unless he runs again. New laws go into effect requiring him to dispose of that money soon, so instead of losing the money? he just abandoned his state and his Senate seat so he could take that money and use it to lobby. His lobbying co. can direct that money to other campaigns. His lobby company gets PAID to decide which candidates get that money... even tho the money was donated to his campaigns, he now uses it to fund other campaigns and gets paid to "influence" the recipients... neat gig huh?
