Senator Conrad Burns Is Still Cozy As Ever With The Lobbyists

Submitted by Roy Temple on Tue, 01/17/2006 - 9:22pm.

Some Members of Congress have tried to keep a lower profile with lobbyists since the Abramoff guilty plea, but not Senator Conrad Burns.

In fact, he has a fundraiser scheduled with K Street lobbyists for January 25th.

Here's an email that circulated in Washington today:

And you might note, that apparently Senator Burns got the message that Cassidy & Associates is the new Alexander Strategy Group, as he is already cozying up to them, or vice versa, depending on how you look at it.
