The MBTA spent $48,000 last year on lobbyists. According to
spokesman Joe Pesaturo, the two lobbyists, Jack McGlynn* and William
Ryan, were let go in a "cost-cutting move." They had helped the MBTA

MassHousing,
an agency that loans money for affordable housing, was among the
agencies that spent the most on lobbyists last year - paying its two
lobbyists $171,000.

Davis is now treasurer for the city of Malden. The McGlynn tentacles are everywhere.
