Four Washington lobbyists are serving as hosts for a May 31 dinner honoring the freshman legislator at Hill Country Barbecue in our nation's capital.
The group includes Gregg Hartley, former chief of staff to Roy Blunt, who represents AT&T, as well as numerous other clients, Tim McGivern, also an AT&T lobbyist, National Rifle Association lobbyist Liz Williams, and Jeffrey Hogg, who represents Reynolds American.
If you want to be one of those honoring Billy Long, be prepared to pay dearly for the privilege. The event has a "suggested contribution" of $1,000 per PAC or $500 per individual.
The Washington fundraiser will be the ninth for Billy Long since he took office in January. Six of those, including one on March 30, were held at the exclusive Capitol Hill Club. As noted in the April 13 Turner Report, Long spent $1,133 from his campaign account to the club for initiation and dues to the club.

ReplyDeleteBilly's building up that campaign chest,
ReplyDeleteso sad, so sad.
He won't talk to local reporters but he will sit down with lobbyists.
ReplyDeletesomething ain't right here.
what reporters will he not talk to?
ReplyDeleteYou know he spends a hell of a lot of time making himself sound important.
ReplyDeleteThose people in DC thinks he's two things; a vote and dumb.
Trust me.
Is this the same Hartley who has been Blunt's pimp from day one and was all-in for Nodler in the Primary Election?
ReplyDeleteWhat in the world are they honoring him for? He hasn't done anything but join clubs and talk about auctioneering and golf. He hasn't done anything to be honored for.
ReplyDeleteHe won the prize for being the fattest steer in the auction, held at Highland Springs Country Club?
