Federal Grant Seeker Lobbyist Builds Raleigh Firm
J Larry Minton, a 36 year old Washington lobbyist based in Raleigh, runs J L Minton and Associates serving Wake and Brunswick counties the state Department of Transportation and private firms. He catalogs 987 federal grants for local governments and charges 3 percent on grants over 1 million. Minton pitches fast action by bypassing bureaucratic steps and uses inside tips to advance client grants. He says Wake County pays 36000 yearly and DOT 18000 with additional fees for grant processing. He frames power as access and influence and hints at teaching the system someday.
