“Dan Delaney is a health care lobbyist, but not the high-powered, $1,000 suit kind. He’s a soft-spoken former Department of Public Health official. So I was surprised a few weeks ago when he mentioned that he’s been working with Tom Finneran, the high-powered former House speaker. Working on what? ‘Medical marijuana,’ Delaney told me. ‘We’re working together with a bunch of companies applying for dispensaries. You’d be surprised at some of the lobbyists involved.’ Their odd-couple marriage of policy expert and power broker is emblematic of the unlikely alliances that have quietly formed in pursuit of the coveted licenses to dispense medical marijuana.”
