What Do Lobbyists Do?
Description
This 13 minute portion of an oral history interview with experienced lobbyist Pat Hubbell focuses on how he became a lobbyist, first for Kansas Beer Wholesalers and then several railroads. He stresses the importance of his work to "save" the railroads from financial collapse and pass the 4-R Act which changed the way they were regulated federally and at the state level. His description of the hospitality rooms at the Jayhawk hotel shows the contrast with how lobbying worked in the 1970's and today. The entire interview can be found on this website at Statehouse Conversations.
