Frazier & Deeter’s Business Beat: Edward Lindsey, Dentons
Edward Lindsey, head of the Georgia State Government Affairs team at Dentons, joined host Roger Lusby on “Business Beat,” and discussed the impact key issues like transportation, education, and healthcare have on Georgia’s status as the best state for doing business. Ed also talked about his role on the state election board, and the importance of making sure that people have confidence in the outcome of elections. Ed also offered advice to businesses on how to approach government officials about their issues, emphasizing the importance of understanding the other side’s perspective. If you want to get things done in politics, he said, today’s opponents may be tomorrow’s allies.
