Lobbyist says no link with Barbour

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, 10/4/7

Lanny Griffith, chief executive officer of the Washington lobbying firm he started with Haley Barbour, issued on Wednesday the most definitive statement yet that the governor no longer holds an interest in the firm.

“Gov. Barbour is not an employee or officer of the firm and neither he nor his blind trust has an ownership interest in the firm,” Griffith said in an e-mailed statement.
