Insiders Talk: Winning with Lobbyists, Readers Edition provides practitioners, general readers, and students with a deeper understanding of the state lobbying process and roles of special interests, lobbyists, legislators, legislative staff, governor, and regulatory agencies in modern lawmaking. The lite version of our Professional edition (hardcover, 488 pages) discusses: what lobbyists can and cannot do for clients; who really runs the legislature; corruption among lawmakers and lobbyists; the overstated link between campaign money and lawmakers' votes; relative unimportance of technical facts; agency influence with the legislature, governor, and special interests; agency veto of legislation by rulemaking and enforcement.
