Finding Ulysses

The going rate that Mike Arcuri has calculated for his upcoming gathering: 500 dollars to stand in line waiting to shake his hand, and 1,000 dollars if you want your photograph taken with him to make yourself look important.

At a holiday party hosted at the headquarters of a lobbying firm, political action committees were asked to pay $5,000 to Congressman Arcuri, though organizations seeking a lesser level of political influence could pay a mere $1,000 for a “PAC Memento”.
