In his new role as co-chair of the PR firm Fleishman-Hillard's government relations (or lobbying) practice, former U.S. Senator Jim Talent will be "spearheading the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers' bid to torpedo the effort to raise fuel mileage standards to 52 miles per gallon" by 2030. Instead, the automakers are supporting a compromise measure from Senators Carl Levin and Kit Bond. "Talent cannot lobby for the Levin-Bond bill because of Senate rules," explains O'Dwyer's. "He can do media outreach on behalf of the carmakers."

contest for those like Jim Talent
I came across a great contest for non-profit business professionals at www.svn.org/imaginewhatsnext. They are holding a contest to reward business leaders for starting or running socially responsible companies. This seems to be a growing trend!
