Retired Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell (R-Colorado) is making "a rumored million bucks" in his new position at the Holland & Knight law and lobbying firm, Westword speculates.

Campbell joined the firm earlier this year as a senior policy adviser for Indian affairs. He plans to work on sovereignty, water rights, health care and other tribal issues.

Campbell retired at the end of 2004. after more than 20 years of public service. Westword says Campbell is barred from lobbying Congress for a year.

Campbell is on the agenda for next week's National Congress of American Indians winter session in Washington, D.C. He is scheduled to talk about judicial nominations.
