Mass. lobbyists on pace to have a record year

The Boston Globe reports:

Special interest groups, which furiously sought to shape major bills before the Legislature this year, reported more than $38 million in spending on lobbyists in the first six months of 2009 and are on track to break an all-time record, according to reports filed with the state this week.

Big government means more lobbying by special interests. It's just more money to rent seek.
