Jeb Bush joins up with lobbying firm

Former Florida governor Jeb Bush will act as a consultant for the lobbying firm Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, the firm announced Monday.

The firm, which has offices in Tallahassee, Fort Lauderdale and four other Florida cities as well as in New York, Washington and Philadelphia, lobbies governments on behalf of industries including finance, health care, energy and education - a particular interest of Bush, a longtime vouchers and charter school proponent.

Bush will act as a "strategic consultant" to the firm and its clients through his own consulting firm, Jeb Bush & Associates.

"This move adds to our firm’s distinguished reputation as a leader in providing strategic advice on government, regulatory and business matters," Buchanan CEO Joseph Dougherty said in a statement. . .

Jeb Bush is like a very well connected fungal thread. He himself is unremarkable, but his family ties are his resume. Pretty pathetic in my book.

Nothing this POS does interests me. He, his brother, his daddy, his mother and all his other Rat relatives should go to hell where they belong.

Everything this lowlife lobbies for, Trump will do the opposite.

His kids are anchor babies and his midget wife is illegal. He should be hounded as bad as the Clintons. Thin skinned imbecile.

I would love to see President-elect Trump drain the lobbyist swamp by making lobbying expenses non-deductible and the recipient has to declare it as income.

Heads will explode.

Jeb will be used as a contrary indicator. For best effect, solicit his advice and do something different.

Jeb made I think $7 million from Pearson publishing so Florida would pay for the common core books they were pushing.
