		Collins cites the defense argument that legislators who have the higher salaries and big staffs have become more independent from lobbyists, but he adds that the number of lobbyists has mushroomed as have their efforts to influence.

		Undaunted by the heavy volume of fire directed at him, he courageously maintained his precarious position and continued to direct the tanks until he was mortally wounded.
