Small Firm Lobbyist?

Saw this piece about lobbying as a booming practice area...looks like mostly big firms. Obviously on the "top ten" lists it's going to be all big firms primarily representing the big corporate players. But I've known some folks who make a pretty penny in smaller firms doing lobbying work.

If you're chummy with your state reps (and Tony Rezko) I think you get some things done in Springfield.
