Even though the list has been removed since my initial blogging of this article, I managed to find portions/remnants of information online:
Redflex Communications Systems 2007 Payment to Lobbyist
It appears that Redflex spent at
least $80K with this lobbyist (ie; salesperson) for 2007 for his lobbying efforts, Jackson Kemper, III
Apparently one of his firms, JK3 Associates is registered with the Federal Government, as well:
U.S. Senate Lobbying Disclosure (search for word: Redflex)
Redflex, once again, states the strategic importance of hiring professional lobbyists to augment its sales in its 2007 Financial Report:
The use of external consultants/lobbyists to assist with the sales effort in targeted regions continued in the past financial year, and with this we expect the levels of contract capture to remain consistent in 2008 using both direct and indirect sales force.
In Tennessee, Redflex appears to have hired at least two lobbyists (Joe Hall, Peter Heidenreich):
Lobbyist Index 2006
In Ohio, it appears that
lobbyist John Raphael, a former City Council aide, helped Redflex bring redlight cameras to the city of Columbus.
In Minnesota, there may be at least six registered lobbyists, including Ross Kramer (designated lobbyist):
RedFlex Traffic Systems, Minnesota Registered Lobbyists
In
RedFlex's 2007/2008 Investor Briefing, they identify paid lobbyists and attorneys (willing to undermine US civil liberties and due process for money) as a an
essential "investment."
