My apologies to Mr. Widmer. I wrote a post yesterday in which I slanderously accused him of not registering as a lobbyist, because I was searching for his name in what appears to have been an old database here . The real database is here. Very, very sloppy, careless, and unprofessional work on my part. I think I’ll take a self-enforced suspension of two months from posting here- I probably need the vacation from the internet anyway.
Thank you to DaveS for correcting me on this.
That’s what you get for trying to go out of your way to “get someone”.
Sorry about that, Mr. Widmer. My apologies to the whole BMG community as well. I’ll see you on May 19th or thereabouts (so long as I don’t hear anything different from the editors).
Yikes…I’m an idiot.

He probably claims that lobbying is incidental to, not part of, his regular business activities.

Seems like that defense could potentially be used by Vitale as well.

I voted, then I checked the database. Mike Widmer is registered, as is his employer.

There are two separate websites- I just found the new one. Shit. Time to take a long vacation from posting here, I think.
