Neil Kornze, former Bureau of Land Management director under Obama, has moved from the Senate to one of K Street's finest.
Kornze started as a senior vice president at Cassidy & Associates earlier this month. Cassidy's $17 million in federal lobbying income so far this year makes it one of D.C. largest lobbying shops by revenue, according to LegiStorm data.
