Was that a group of Republican legislators gathered just by chance at Cajun’s last night? Or was a lobbyist on hand to pick up the tab — perhaps as a so-called “group expenditure,” which reduces the ethical reporting requirements.

Wouldn’t surprise me if somebody with a SWEPCO credit card was on hand. The coal burners always have legislative needs even though, last night, thanks to Gov. Mike Beebe, SWEPCO and the Co-op’s court-stripping bill had been sidelined for the time being.
UPDATE: I believe another energy company was driving this party, from the fracking lobby.
