But I must say there's something odd about all this: LaRocco is among the powerful elite. He's made it, just like Risch. LaRocco attended four universities, all private. He worked for U.S. Sen. Frank Church. He was a banker and a stockbroker before being elected to Congress in 1990, where he served two terms. He then became a lobbyist for the banking industry and helped pass a law loosening restrictions on banks. While his press release called Risch a "mega-millionaire," it failed to note LaRocco's $3.2 million worth. Risch is richer, with his disclosure report pegging his wealth between $16 million and $80 million, most of it in real estate/Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman. More here.
