Shine up your dancing shoes, boys. Lobbyists have been working on Sloan. The Commercial-Appeal reported that he's lunched secretly with them at a fancy private club. While Sloan plays fiddle for lobbyists, I burn at his agency's seeming disinterest in, among others, reports of ethics law-flouting in a recent campaign against a Little Rock school tax and in a casino amendment campaign. If the Ethics Commission backs Sloan on these issues, it's time to write the agency off as little more than a madam enforcing R- rated decorum in a whorehouse.
Corporations spend money on legislators to make money.
