Sounds like a waste of money. How good can he be if he works for 5,000 per month! Did they find this guy on www.discountlobbyist.com

@Hmmm,
LOL. If it is indeed the same Ravi Mehta, and it seems to me very likely he is, I think he may do even more damage to Menlo Park's interests. Someone who have swindled the state government surely would have left a good reputation as well.

Old Palo Alto, I doubt this is the only gig that Ravi has. The article says he also represents Palo Alto. Probably others as well... I'm sure the $5000/month is "part-time".
