What does AGriculture – not to be confused with Petroleum or API – pay their lobbyists and what does the sectors spend for the whole lobby? Ignore the AG reference for now, a despotic office if there ever was one, given its Dutch origins.
With the combination of 1) Weedpatch, and 2) being a U.S. Congressional Page from former Speaker of the House Kevin’s 20th district, plus Kevin McCarthy of Kern County, which has never elected a Democrat despite receiving massive agricultural subsidies since the New Deal because of a Dixie New Deal Democrat (The Camps of South Carolina). I remain perpetually confused. Perhaps that’s the petroleum in the water I drank speaking.
Industry sectors do brag about their spending, so no need to worry about the Ethics Committees being busy this winter.
