This man is a lobbyist: Michael Bright

Most lobbyists try to be extraordinarily accurate. Puffery generally annoys the hell out of legislators. Apparently Michael Bright is not aware of this. He asserts that he was named a Top Ten Lobbyist by the Wisconsin State Journal. A Lexis-Nexis search found no such "Top Ten List" published by the Wisconsin State Journal. A call to an editor there found no such list.

Furthermore, there is no position of "Chief of Staff" for the Joint Finance Committee and Bright did not hold such a title. Additionally, this man was not "Executive Budget and Policy Advisor to the Governor" there was (and may still be under the new Governor) such a position. Michael never held it. He was, in point of fact, a policy analyst in the Dept. of Administration, an entry-level civil-service job.

Puffery indeed.
