The Tallahassee Democrat will initially focus on local government work in states other than Florida, the firm announced this week.
“With Alan joining our team, his reputation and combined experience in both business and government will help us provide solutions for our clients and enhance our services to clients around the State and Nation” said Meenan managing partner Tim Meenan. “We are particularly excited about his knowledge of both local government, and the legislature” said Meenan.
