Special Privileges - Legislator's Employer and Clients

Issue/Question A legislator/lawyer sent his law firm a letter on state stationary offering to introduce the firm's clients to legislators and legislative employees.
Summary Use of the letter by the firm enhances the firm's ability to claim it had special access to the legislative process and that ability amounts to securing special privileges in violation of RCW 42.52.070.
