Mass. insiders turn to lobbying careers
In February 2015, Charlie Baker, a newly elected governor, targeted the Ceolis Commuter Service and accused the train operation failed during thousands of heavy snowfall.
Ceolis hired Baker's subordinates in accordance with Beacon Hill's script.
By July, Keolis quietly hired Kiser Public Strategies, a communication company, who was the leader of Baker Governor's election campaign and still the governor of the governor, Will Kaiser.
A year later, the Baker administration agreed to pay $ 66 million to Ceolis, which had already signed the largest operation contract in state history, to increase trains and maintain equipment. 。
There is no evidence that the keycar role was related to additional payments, and that keyser, baker, and Keolis are not relevant.
The hire of Keolis's hiring the governor's strategist is not illegal even if he ultimately rely on funding from the state. However, these relationships and the perceptions created are highlighted in the common and successful business methods in Beacon Hill.
Occasionally, a consultant who supports the election of candidates becomes a business client's agent under the new leaders, and in some cases advice to government officials supported in the election.
David Galino, who supports the election of Maura Hirey, and is still an advisor, is a consultant and lobbyist, and has a healthcare and energy companies that Hierley's office plays an important role in regulation.
Chris Ceheinin, the Goldberg, is a registration lobbyist of a gambling company, directed by the Goldberg, which is directed by Goldberg, a gambling company.
Globe reported that Martin J. Walsh's election advisor is an agent of the client or a necessary client seeking something from the Boston City Hall.
Such a relationship is difficult to verify at the state level, and unlike the city, the whole government is not subject to official document. < SPAN> In February 2015, Charlie Baker, a newly elected governor, targeted the Ceolis Commuter Service and accused the train operation failed during thousands of heavy snowfall.

Globe reported that Martin J. Walsh's election advisor is an agent of the client or a necessary client seeking something from the Boston City Hall.
Such a relationship is difficult to verify at the state level, and unlike the city, the whole government is not subject to official document.
Apart from this, aside from whether the consultant is implemented by accessing bureaucrats personally, "these institutions seem to have an important stake", Pam Willmot, a common cause Massachusetts. Executive director of the state organization says. And all alleged incidents will cause confusion and doubt about the government's work, said Jorddan, Vivitz, Jorddan, a communication director of Citizens for Duty and Ethics in Washington.
"When he starts introducing himself or actually sells access rights, he questions how bureaucrats are managing things," he says.
According to Kierris's statement, the company was actually hired by Kiser Public Stratezies, a company run by his wife, Eirin Okoner, and the "Corporate Public Relations Skills" and district media. It was because he had knowledge of it, and it was not an internal means for the governor, for example, for the governor who had a rude attitude toward the company.
Kaiser explains that he does not like lobbying activities. "Our buyer knows this, and has signed a contract with other companies to provide similar services," said Kaiser.
Kiser Public Strategies had been extremely popular before the increase in chipper. Among the corporate buyers, there were AT & amp; amp; amp; T, pen national gaming, and preynville game shows. However, since Baker was selected as a keyser, I love partners healthcare, public company Public Company Public Farm Shooting Research and Manau Faccular, and more than a year of exposure to the Taxosome industry. The lift that I did was added.
Each company has a great interest in the impact on the state government, and in Massachusetts, 16 registered lobbyists are hired in a common trouble. According to his sentence, Kaiser was not an agent than Lyft's interests a few months ago.
The only buyer registered as Kaiser and Okonor as a lobbyist, is a group that supports the campaign that expands access to Charter-School, which is determined by November voting. Kaiser actually accepts the company with Bettykar in the communication strategy and political report tasks in the campaign framework.
According to an email from the Kaiser administration and the Baker administration, the governor has been talking to his own strategic "regularly" in the past. Later, the authorities explained that "quas i-regular" is usually called a phone call once a week.
The Baker Government did not directly answer questions about whether these cases had caused the case because the Keiser had been working for buyers with trading before the government. Instead, the governor's staff said in some examples that Baker was in a position to contradict the interests of the buyer buyer.
The Massachusetts Retail Association is said to be a buyer for Keiser Public Strategies, but Governor Baker is not particular about the cancellation of the state's request to pay an employee on Sunday, so many retailers. I'm offended. Baker has also been criticized that Kiser has not actually promoted the development of offshore wind power, despite working in the win d-energy development group Deepwater Wind.
According to Kaiser's text, the Deep Water Wind hired Kaiser after the election of the Governor of Baker at the end of 2014. From 2011 to 2014, the state's record revealed that during the era of Governor Deval Patrick, the company had hired a Patrick political advisor Northwind Strategies as a lobbyist.
"Kiser Public Strategies has hired to support messaging and media strategies in Massachusetts," said the Deepwater Wind spokeswoman.
Governor Baker, Jim Conroy, was assigned to the State Congress following the governor and served as a senior adviser for more than a year. Conroy had left the political world in March and returned to politics and public issues, but said he would continue to advise Globe in an unofficially baker.
Conroy has signed a contract with Steward Healthcare and the company's name for confidentiality, but with two companies. Conroy was not interested in the lobby activity and said, "The two buyers have hired lobbyists individually for this purpose."
"I don't represent the profit of the buyer in the governor's office," said Conroy. According to the state law, he is banned from lobbying in the governor's office for one year before leaving public office.
According to Steward spokeswoman, the company adopted Conroy to be in charge of communication and the relationship between the community, not because of the relationship with Baker.
Line can be blurred
According to Jerold Ducette, a political scholar of Connecticat Central Research Institute, it is not easy for many consultants, whose work with a corporate buyer is the most important income, to avoid fellowship with politicians. "They have a private customer and work for politicians candidates. 。
Governor Charlie Baker Pat Green House / Workers Grab / Workers Grab
Goldber g-Consultant, Kyocan, then worked as an executive director of the Goldberg period, without being involved in the state government's LDP victory. The Ministry of Finance employees, who have not joined the union, have begun to consider whether they want to work on new accounting and sign up to KEOKHAN's notice. Requests for the disclosure of documents that were obtained as results of gloves in the Ministry of Finance's electrical and e-mail.
Three months later, in April 2015, Goldberg has definitely led to Kyouhan's collecting state, Kyouhan is a commercial lobbyist IGT, a gambling company that insists on local government lottery transactions, a global ceremony in the past year. It became.
The IGT, Massachusett's lottery provider defended the profit of the company in front of the state staff, and in the previous lobing documents, "All nuances of Massachusettz's lottery and state protection". I hired Kyouhan to advise.
The laws related to interes t-related cases prohibit former officials from the lobby activities for the benefit of the department they worked for after the state of leaving the state service. The Ethics National Committee should usually be considered a "civil servant" in the case of a municipal employee, for example, a municipal employee, and a "public servant" that expands the interests of local government employees. I have advised.
Disclosures suggest role
Kyokan stated in his statement that a lawyer conducted ethics during the transition, saying, "The members of the migration team are not listed as staff."In January this year, the stat e-owned lottery chose IGT to supply new equipment and software. According to the lottery text, the details of the contract are at the approval stage. The IGT offers a $ 5 million low cost within $ 23 million, and has surpassed the opponent in terms of technical indicators.
According to the lobby record, IGT has paid $ 128. 000 to Kyouhan since 2015, nearly three times the amount he earned by working in the Goldberg camp.
Angela Vicheck worked as "IGT's eyes and ears at the IGT site" and was hired for his knowledge about the business environment in the state, and was hired to associate with politicians. He said it wasn't.
Goldberg actually has a friendship with Keokan and sometimes talks about their duties, but Keokan says, "Talking to your customers and their problems with the accounting person and their employees. No, "he said through his adept. More than that, as we know, he doesn't talk to any of the lottery employees.
Keokan refused to answer the help of Goldberg and whether the lobby activity is a field of interest. I have never been frustrated with Goldberg, as if she and her and her team are doing the Goldberg, as if she and her and her team are doing it in an accounting office. yeah. When I petition on the bean, I provide services in a timely manner for absolute transparency importance in accordance with all laws.
IGT seems to value political consultants who can select the national treasury of Massachusetts. Three weeks later, Steve-Glosman provided his personal function in 2011, and hired a GTECH-famous company in the Lobyist's personal state of North Wind-Stratezies led by Doug-Rubin. 。
VIKEK said that IGT has virtually approved that she is not clear about the time to hire the company's employees.
Glossman, who left his personal post in January 2015, said that the illusion of the case within the government was actually inconsistent. "It is a glove paper interview that citizens, voters, and taxpayers are basically recognizing that companies are basically receiving unfair profits for their internal relationships." I talked.
According to Glossman's book, the answer is to introduce a cruel principle of competition in local government transactions and establish transactions based on laws and fantastic processes.
