Barklage and Tilley Team Up

New campaign finance filings show that House Floor Leader Steve Tilley has enlisted the help of David Barklage's Strategic Communications Group.

Barklage is the the top political consultant and former chief of staff to Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder.

The word on High Street is that the two reached an agreement to work together around Christmas. Tilley's previous strategic consultant and mentor, Rod Jetton, shut down his consulting business in December after being charged with assault.
