This is a non-story, happens all the time
That it happens all the time is precisely what makes it a story.
That is what is wrong with it,it happens all the time.

First you say that solicitations are sent to exclusively lobbyists and then you say the emails are sent to lobbyist and lobbyist principals. Which is it?

Sic, you know everybody mails and emails the same lists for these things. Sounds like this is more of your personal vendetta w Cahaly, wonder what’s really behind that? By the way, I must have missed where you posted the article about him being cleared on the robo call deal.

Do not disregard this message………lobbyists are pond scum and politicians who take money and favors from a lobbyist are whores.
Sorry Bogart, but you’re simply wrong. Government affairs professionals provide a crucial function in educating legislators on the unintended consequences of legislation – aka less government – that they would normally not be able to ascertain on their own. Many industries come in to tell lawmakers how legislation affects them, and from this myriad of interests comes the public interest. Also, lobbyists are NOT allowed to procure funds, favors, or any other gifts to legislators or their staff, and have to report their activity on a quarterly basis or face stiff penalties, including jail time. You can literally look up any lobbyist on multiple databases and see their work, who they meet with, and when they meet them. Lobbying is one of the MOST transparent aspects of our government – I wish we could say the same for the administration.

Why is anything illegal in SC? or in politics in general? SC politicians have their own PACs so they can receive huge amounts of money for their campaigns, and these PACs can give to other funds to grease wheels to certain legislation, or what have you.

Understand that a certain Charleston area senator has folks popping up lobbyists now — putting the squeeze on them to pony up for his failed 1st congressional bid. Lobbyists are being told, hey you can (should) give because this was a federal campaign and not a state one that would be governed by our weak state laws.
