Longtime Lobbyist's Classes Feed Hunger for Legislative Savvy
By Linda Rapattoni
Daily Journal Staff Writer
SACRAMENTO - Ray LeBov always wanted to teach people the ins and outs of lobbying. After leaving his job as chief lobbyist for the Judicial Council nearly two years ago, he got his chance. His class, a half-day seminar called Lobbying 101, was an instant hit. His students include wannabe lobbyists, veteran lobbyists looking for new strategies, people who supervise or work with lobbyists and even a former legislator who wanted to remain anonymous.

To some employers, what goes on at the state Capitol seems just plain "weird."
There's an established path from idea to bill to law, but many skip that route. Legislators can be fractious and have term limits that keep their tenure short. Two-thirds of them have to agree to pass a budget or a tax, so public spending priorities often get punted to the ballot box.

Popular course lays out culture of the CapitolBy Aurelio Rojas - Bee Capitol Bureau
There are more than 1,200 registered lobbyists in the Capitol -- about 10 for every member of the Legislature -- but judging from the hiring that continues unabated there's room for courses like Lobbying 101. That's the introductory course taught by Ray LeBov, who worked for more than three decades in the Legislature and as chief lobbyist for the state court system. LeBov also teaches an advanced course, Lobbying 201. The courses he launched last June have been such a hit "most of the graduates of 201 are asking me to do a 301, which I'm considering."
