Talent’s stint as a Washington lobbyist may arise in re-election bid

[usregimechange]

Soon after taking office in 2003, Sen. Jim Talent co-sponsored a health care bill that he said would help small businesses with the sharply rising costs of insurance for their employees.

The measure had been a longtime priority for the Missouri Republican, stretching back to his days in the House, and a hot issue in his election campaign.

But the bill was also at the top of the agenda for one of Talent's former lobbying clients - the National Federation of Independent Business, a powerful small-business advocacy group. The group had paid Talent's firm $60,000 for lobbying and strategic advice after his failed gubernatorial bid in 2000.
