Good catch, Cooper! While this isn't exactly a smoking gun (lobbyists reward pliant legislators with these awards all the time) it's still interesting. I presume that the dinner mentioned in the press release was a fund-raiser. So in the end what this basically amounts to is more campaign donations for Minnis from the Microsoft lobby. Which should hardly be a surprise to anyone. Thanks for finding this, Cooper.
