HARTFORD, Connecticut (Hartford Business Journal) Swearing in of lawmakers, organizational committee meetings, and other rituals marking the start of the state legislative session may seem a tad corny or incidental for some, but you can bet your bottom dollar that most lobbyists will be present.
Count DeVaughn Ward among them. A lobbyist for the Marijuana Policy Project, Ward will be fighting this session to push a recreational pot legalization bill over the finish line, something that’s proven difficult during recent attempts, despite support from Gov. Ned Lamont and public polls.
So Ward would surely seize on an opportunity to be seen, shake some hands, trade intel and chat up powerful committee chairs and newly-elected freshmen lawmakers alike.
