Talk:Scott Hatch

I created the page after seeing Scott on Orrin's website and doing a search on wikipedia for him. Only later did I see that there is already a article on him, Scott D. Hatch (Lobbyist, Walker, Martin & Hatch). Hooking these together or correcting disambiguous is new for me. Maybe some help? Am I missing something, that Orrin Hatch's page which mentions his son, would not link to an article? This is so much fun; putting the puzzle pieces together for Utah.

OOPs, My bad. the Scott D. Hatch (Lobbyist, Walker, Martin & Hatch) I cited is from http://www.sourcewatch.org/.

Now, the question arises on "is there a link between http://www.sourcewatch.org/"

What a hatchet job on a barely notable person. Bearian (talk) 18:00, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

I disagree and go on record as such. Time will tell. Those who are a party of deletion are, in my opinion, engaging in revisionism of lobbyist and are accountable for their actions; as well.--Wikipietime (talk) 20:22, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

As referenced from Sourcewatch, I cite for reference; "Walker Martin & Hatch is a lobbying firm formed by Laird Walker, Jack W. Martin, and Scott D. Hatch. Jack Martin was "a veteran" of Senator Orrin Hatch's Senate staff and "a former diet supplements lobbyist" at Parry Romani DeConcini & Symms. Laird Walker, "another longtime associate of the senator, became the third partner." [1]

"The Hatch in the firm is the son of Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), but Walker says that 'it would be a mistake for anyone to assume that the third name in our partnership is the reason we're successful. We all have the capacity and the relationships.'" However, in 2002, the firm reported a lobbying income of $930,000, with most of the fees "paid by companies and groups that count on" Senator Hatch for support. [2][3]

"'I had retired from Qwest,' recall[ed] Walker, who had started working for a predecessor to the Denver-based telecom firm Qwest Communications International Inc. in 1967. 'But they [Hatch and Martin] thought they were ready to go out on their own, and I was willing to come out of retirement." [4]

"When Hatch and Martin left to start their own firm, the supplements clients followed. So did the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America and GlaxoSmithKline." [5]

"A host of pharmaceutical and dietary-supplement clients hired Parry, Romani. The trade association and individual companies in the dietary-supplements industry alone paid the firm nearly $2 million from 1998 to 2002, lobbyist reports show." [6]"

He has obtained a notable stature in American Lobbying, in my opinion. --Wikipietime (talk) 20:27, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

I have preserved the article and comments for the record.--Wikipietime (talk) 20:29, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
