"The industry of influence: Lobbyists may be big players at Nevada Legislature"

"They are an army on a mission with countless boots on the ground at the Nevada Legislature.
So far, the 2011 session has more than 600 registered lobbyists, paid and unpaid. As the session heats up, that number is expected to grow to about 900.
That would be 14 lobbyists for each legislator. Currently, the ratio is 10 to 1."
