Earmarks might be a bad word these days, but they were a good thing for the start of Cassidy, which helped conceive the first modern earmarked appropriations. The firm's chief executive is a former congressman from Illinois, and its operating chief spent 18 years in the House advising the Republican whip. Also on its employee list are a former Missouri governor, former special White House counsel and former top aide to Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.)
