Jim Savarese and Professor <a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Robert_D.Tollison" title="Robert D. Tollison" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Robert D. Tollison</a> from <a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/George_Mason_University" title="George Mason University" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">George Mason University</a> established and ran the <a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Cash_for_Comments_Economists_Network" title="Cash for Comments Economists Network" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Cash for Comments Economists Network</a> which, over time, recruited about 150 Libertarian economists to act as surreptitious lobbyists for the tobacco industry. They were not paid retainers, but given $600 to $3,000 a time for planting a propaganda article in their local newspaper.Members of this clandestine network changed over time -- through deaths, transfers (and perhaps even consciences!) -- but the economist's network operated very successfully for decades with at least one (sometimes more) professors operating in almost every state. The economist they recruited were generally:<ul style="margin: 0.3em 0px 0.5em 1.6em; padding: 0px; list-style-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3C%3Fxml%20version%3D%221.0%22%20encoding%3D%22UTF-8%22%3F%3E%0A%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20version%3D%221.1%22%20width%3D%225%22%20height%3D%2213%22%3E%0A%3Ccircle%20cx%3D%222.5%22%20cy%3D%229.5%22%20r%3D%222.5%22%20fill%3D%22%2300528c%22%2F%3E%0A%3C%2Fsvg%3E%0A");"><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">professors of economics or business management at a State University.

Savarese and Tollison sometimes used the adminstration staff at the <a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Center_for_Study_of_Public_Choice" title="Center for Study of Public Choice" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Center for Study of Public Choice</a> at George Mason University (GMU) to help launder payments.</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">willing and able to write an op-ed article to order when given a subject and a list of key points to promote.</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em;">willing to send the article to a selected Congressman, and perhaps phone or contact him/her to reinforce the message, for extra payment.</li></ul>Over a 120 professors of economics at major American universities participated in this cash-for-comments network, and many of them remained available to service the tobacco industry for many years. Others only served for a short time, and then dropped out voluntarily ... or were found to be unreliable or unsatisfactory. The network was set up in November 1982 and it operated under Savarese and Tollison until early 1999, when the remnants were handed over to the <a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Independent_Institute" title="Independent Institute" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Independent Institute</a> to run.

The LMC also paid the services of <a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/David_C_Wilhelm" title="David C Wilhelm" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">David C Wilhelm</a>, at one time the Chairman of the Democrat National Committee (DNC), who also ran a lobbyshop <a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/The_Strategy_Group" title="The Strategy Group" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">The Strategy Group</a> and a union-oriented think-tank, <a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Center_for_Tax_Justice&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Center for Tax Justice (page does not exist)" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">Center for Tax Justice</a>.Savarese probably ran scams for industries other than tobacco.
