That's great that Airbnb is hiring lobbyists since the rest of us can't afford to hire our own lobbyists to push for our right to do short term rentals.

- Airbnb has hired a trio of Democratic lobbyists at the high-powered lobby firm Podesta Group, marking an increase in the company's Washington lobbying presence at a time when "sharing economy" companies like Airbnb and Uber are drawing scrutiny from federal and local lawmakers.
The San Francisco-based online home rental site hired Podesta in September, according to a lobbying disclosure filing. The filing does not specify what the lobbyists are working on, beyond "issues related to the sharing economy."
