How Much Will John Boehner Be Paid During His Weekly Lobbyist Meetings When He Becomes Speaker?
John Boehner meets weekly with lobbyists to plot strategy in order to do their bidding legislatively. In return Mr. Boehner has received millions in contributions from Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and other financial and banking interests, is treated to posh resorts and shuttled around on corporate aircraft.
Boehner has taken 45 trips on corporate jets over the last several years, been pampered at luxurious resorts all on the lobbyists' tabs, playing golf at their expense. Now who do you think he is going to have in his mind to work for when he is Speaker, the average American or his lobbyist benefactors and their patrons who fete him in the lap of luxury and fund his campaigns and lavish trips?
Will he begin to once again hand out lobbyist payoffs on the floor of the House to his fellow Republicans?

The Sunlight Foundation has sponsored several really neat websites to track lobbyist dollars as they pertain to our Congressional representatives (both Senate and House). Two that I recall are the opensecrets.gov one and littlesis.gov. In addition, the ReadTheBill.gov is one of their sites---and you can track voting based on the dollars from lobbyists to figure out if people like corporate-colluding Boehner, who actually distributed lobbyists' checks on the House floor to his GOP colleagues, or Wall Street and DOW colluding multi-millionaire Senator Mitch McConnell (worth more tha $49 million in personal wealth on a life-long-Senator's six-figure salary...hmmm...).

Enough in his first year to keep him in yellow dye for the rest of his life.
They have enough votes in the House that they can order the cameras turned off when Yellowbelly starts handing out the checks from from the insurance industry...

I believe he gets paid $500,000-$1,000,000, PER meeting, Per lobbyist each week. I also believe he has made arrangements to meet with 5 lobbyists each week and they alternate weeks. He is just so busy now and will be even busier as speaker, even though he does nothing.

Probably less than Nancy Pelosi did and I am sure by taking commercial flights he will cost the tax payer much less than she.
