Howell]] both agreed that this loophole "may comply with the letter of the law, it certainly violates the [[Letter and spirit of the law|spirit of the law]]”.<ref name=":18" /> Even Senator [[David W. Marsden|Marsden]] agreed that it is a "a valid argument" that this practice should be reconsidered.<ref name=":18" /> In the interview with [[The Washington Post]], Carlin responded that these dinners with [[Legislator|legislators]] are not focused on legislation but rather a time to nurture relationships and "decompress."<ref name=":18" /> She rationalized splitting the dinner and entertainment of the dinners among all clients because "they all share the cost."<ref name=":18" /> Carlin stated that she had previously consulted with state officials on whether this is deemed to be an appropriate practice.<ref name=":18" />
