Firehouse Forums - Firefighting Discussion - Interoperability? Between the UHF portables and vehicle repeaters to low band, there is nobody we can't talk to and nobody that can't talk to us withing a reasonable distance. Just curious - how many folks are "technically" interoperable (in other words, they're all on the same radio band and type of system) with their neighboring departments - meaning that they COULD talk to the "other" folks, such as other FD's, PD units, EMS, or whatever; but because of personalities, they don't. After years of lobbying and political arm twisting, most opposition to this plan disappeared, and it was adopted by the FCC, thus clearing the way to move cell phones to one area, and Public safety Communications to another area, ending the interference problem. forums.firehouse.com /showthread.php?t=76878&goto=newpost   (2067 words)

The New Yorker: The Talk of the Town Abramoff was the apotheosis of the “K Street Project,” a highly successful, years-long effort to turn the capital’s “lobbying community” into a Republican auxiliary, by pressuring lobbying firms and trade associations to support a broad conservative agenda, hire only Republicans, and give money overwhelmingly to Republican politicians. How many decades Abramoff spends in jail will depend on how comprehensively he tells the Justice Department’s prosecutors about the details of his “lobbying,” particularly with respect to the public officials he conspired to bribe—some of whom, it may be assumed, were among last week’s Ladies Bountiful. And of those fingered in the Abramoff indictments as being involved in unlawful activities, from Abramoff himself to “Representative #1” and “Staffer B,” one hundred per cent are Republicans. www.newyorker.com /talk/content/articles/060116ta_talk_hertzberg   (1158 words)

Money Talks We asked whether an American company spending money to advocate its own interests in Washington was engaging in "a normal and ethical way to do business" or a form of "legalized bribery." Inside the Beltway, of course, lobbying is a desirable and lucrative profession that more and more legislators pursue upon leaving Congress. And voters and large contributors to both parties agree that when money talks, politicians listen. When politicians go back home every weekend, they may talk at their voters via radio or TV shows, but they talk with their contributors. www.thenation.com /doc/20000821/lake   (1155 words)

A Higher Frequency Salem has inked a deal to provide exclusive religious and family-issues talk for XM satellite radio, it owns a large and expanding number of Christian rock stations, and it sponsors huge outdoor concerts billed as “safe for the whole family.” It’s courting conservative Jews, Catholics, and Latinos—all constituencies prized by the Republican Party.

Republicans take over K Street csmonitor.com But the influence of lobbyists appears to be growing, judging by the flow of money to and from K Street - and the push by Republicans to have members of their party hired for top lobbying jobs. Some who have led the GOP push for K Street power even talk openly of a career path for young recruits to ponder: Serve in Congress, then "retire" to a pot of gold to follow in a job representing business interests on Capitol Hill. The growth of lobbying in the 1980s and '90s vastly increased K Street's power as a factor in financing political campaigns. www.csmonitor.com /2003/0829/p01s01-uspo.html?usaNav   (586 words)

The New Yorker: The Talk of the Town The Goncourt and the Booker are also set up to facilitate the kind of lobbying that Harvey Weinstein is infamous for.
