Specifically, whose lobbyists screwed up again?
As a sidenote to the Virginia debacle, the National Federation of Independent Business wrote a letter to Virginia legislators clearly laying out who was to blame for the snafu (because apparently someone asked?).
The letter notes that "nobody caught this -- not the legislator who sponsored the bill, not the legislators who voted for the bill . . . not the governor who signed the bill and none of the lobbyists who watch for such bad bills," the letter said, according to the Washington Post's story.
One would assume NFIB was staring scornfully at itself in a mirror as they wrote this; if I were the one whose paycheck depended on defending NFIB's interests in Richmond, I might be updating my resume right about now.
