It's time to choose one or the other

From the Daily News:

Campaign consultants would no longer be able to turn around and lobby those they help elect under a bill to be introduced Monday.

Bill sponsor Sen. David Valesky (D-Syracuse) argued "we need to build a firewall between political work and public service."

Any firms that provide campaign management, fundraising services, public relations, development of campaign literature and ads, and strategic advice to a campaign will be prohibited from lobbying state officials on legislation, regulatory changes, budget items and procurement of services.

The Daily News reported last week that at least 29 political consulting firms are also registered lobbyists with the state.

Those firms were paid a combined $5.1 million for election work in 2011 and 2012 and then turned around when the campaigns were over to lobby.

There goes Evan's fat pay check.

Oh, well...maybe he'll lose some weight.
His fat cat dining habits will come to an end too.

That "marriage" of his has got to be a farce. His poor wife would be crushed...should Even try to mount her...unless she were a sumo wrestler..or mounted him.

Why haven't you made mamma Toby a grandma yet, Evan?

The Stavisky dynasty will be developing a large crack in it, should this bill pass.

The FBI should be following this Stavisky thread, to see where it leads to Queens and NYC.

Lose your daddy's eye glass frames, Evan.
He's growing as large as his dad used to be.

Gag! What a repulsive character.
That family breeds UGLY!

The glasses make the Staviskys look "professorial". They don't boogaloo. It's beneath them.

Homophobic?
Maybe I know Evan better than you do.

Maybe I know some flautist who's played his flute.

Play Evan's flute?
I could never overcome my gag reflex enough to play fat boy's schvance schtukka.

Speaking of fat boy....let's cast Evan in bronze, and replace the lost "Civic Virtue" ("fat boy") statue with his likeness.

WTF...but who's the Jerry you refer to?
That's a rather obtuse comment .
Maybe I'm dense. I don't get you.

When Toby or Evan plant their fleshy cheeks on the cold porcelain...it's called "bowl overload"!

PHEW !!!!!!!!!! just like the load of BS that "the Senator" always leaves on the floor of the legislature!

The janitor's union has been complaining.
