Former Missouri House Speaker officially a lobbyist [View all]
Tilley is the nut who had Rush installed in the MO Hall of Fame.
JEFFERSON CITY -- When Steve Tilley announced two weeks ago that he was resigning from his position as Speaker of the Missouri House, it was no secret that he was going to return to the Capitol as a lobbyist.
Today, he made the transition official by registering with the Missouri Ethics Commission.
His first three clients are Fred Weber Inc., a construction company based in Maryland Heights; Supermarket Merchandising Inc., a St. Louis-based manufacturer of merchandise displays; and Tilly's own company, Strategic Capitol Consulting LLC.
