Lobbying and Advocacy: A Public Policy of Open Government
In аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê, a lobbyist is anyone who receives compensation to encourage the passage, defeat or modification of any item before the Board of County Commissioners.
Lobbyists are required to:
- Register with the County annually.
- Report each meeting with any county commissioner.
- Report any expenditures for lobbying activities.
To better serve the citizens of аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê, the Board of County Commissioners hires lobbyists to assist us in gaining support for key issues and initiatives.
