Your lobbyist's favorite lobbyist

If Goldilocks was choosing a lobbying firm, she might gravitate toward Statewide Public Affairs. The 13-year-old operation isn't a household name or one of the biggest earners at the Capitol, but with their list of blue chip clients and big ticket issues they're still a force to be reckoned with in Planet Albany. And they're getting bigger. We reflect on the firm's history and future, with founder and managing partner Chris Duryea. We talk about his approach to attracting new business, working with friends and where he was during the failed Bragman coup.
