LOBBYING AND THE STATE BUDGET
10/99


 
The Wisconsin Ethics Board now provides an analysis of the lobbying effort directed at the state budget bill during the first half of 1999. 

For each of 99 budget topics provided by the Legislative Fiscal Bureau the site displays: 

  • the number of organizations trying to influence that topic 
  • the total time that organizations devoted to affecting the budget's treatment of that topic AND 
  • an approximation of the total lobbying-related expenditures associated with each budget topic. 
The report is arranged by:
  • budget topic, 
  • expenditures, and 
  • hours spent trying to influence the legislature on each topic.
From the Ethics Board's website you may determine exactly which organizations were lobbying on one of the topics listed. 

Just click here and look for "Summary of Lobbying - January June 1999" (this link will open in a new window).
