During the 2017 legislative session, the “tear down walls” bill pushed by Walmart was one of the most contentious issues. Upon the hiring of the Mayernick firm, the issue propelled through the process like a Tesla rocket to space.
Similarly, a Medicaid reform bill including a dental carve out represented by another firm gained rapid momentum when Tracy Mayernick was added to the team. Funny how that works.
We are aware of no thank you notes received by the President’s office for his work for the Mayernick firm’s clients. But there are other ways to thank a leader. Campaign contributions being just one, and there are plenty of examples there.
There seems to be little doubt that the Mayernicks benefit from a close relationship with Joe Negron, the question is, do they benefit from issues Joe likes or does Joe like their issues?
Responding when asked is one thing, but in some cases, legislators also inappropriately call companies and organizations to tell them it would be a great idea to hire their friends.
