| It is very unusual for a
lobbyist's legislative work to be noted by the news media - much less so
favorably. However, Lovell's record has prompted a number of
complimentary media comments.
Here are a few examples:
- Wilmington (Delaware) News Journal: "The
DuPont Company showed its clout by winning passage of a favorable
hazardous waste resolution at the National Governor's Association in
Louisville, Kentucky. The victory was masterminded by DuPont
lobbyist John Lovell, who obtained the favorable resolution over the
opposition of Arizona Governor Bruce Babbitt, who chaired the
Governor's Association hazardous materials committee. Longtime
observers of the NGA events reported that it was the first time they
can remember the Governor's overriding the wishes of one of their
own committee chairs."
- Los Angeles Times: "The legislative success
of the Los Angeles District Attorney did not come by accident, since
one of the first actions taken was to install John Lovell, former
chief political troubleshooter of the Gallo Winery, in
Sacramento."
- Los Angeles Daily Journal: "Although the Los
Angeles District Attorney's legislative program is far superior to
other prosecutors is not the District Attorney who gets the credit,
the credit for that success goes to chief lobbyist John
Lovell."
- San Francisco Daily Journal: "Lovell is classy,
hard working and a very dangerous opponent," said Melissa
Nappan, chief lobbyist for the California Attorneys for Criminal
Justice."
- Los Angeles Daily Journal: "John Lovell is among the
most respected lobbyists in Sacramento."
