Lobbyist Andy Blunt says he never lobbies his brother or the Executive Branch of Missouri State Government.
But consider this series of inexplicable events:
- 3/26/2003--- Andy Blunt registers as a lobbyist for Systems & Methods, Inc. of Carrollton, Georgia, a company that specializes in child support collections systems for states.
- 1/10/2005--- Andy Blunt registers as a lobbyist for Heritage Information Systems of Richmond, Virginia, a company specializing in Medicaid and prescription drug cost containment products for states.
- 1/10/2005--- Andy Blunt registers as a lobbyist for Health Management Systems of Odessa, Missouri, a company specializing in prescription drug cost containment products for states.
- 1/10/2005--- Andy's brother Matt is sworn in as Governor of the State of Missouri.
- 3/25/2005---- Governor Matt Blunt announces $239 million in budget cuts and "cost-savings" to balance the FY 2006 state budget. According to the Associated Press and the Kansas City Star, much of that savings would come from Medicaid and prescription drug cost containment and the outsourcing the state’s child support collection efforts to a private corporation.
Never?
