“CHICAGO – According to a report recently released by Cook County Clerk David Orr, 2015 marked a banner year for Cook County lobbyists.
During 2015, lobbyists registered within Cook County reported receiving nearly $2.95 million, the most ever reported by the county. Although lobbyists are required to file twice every year, some file but do not report any activity. On the other hand, other lobbyists do submit reports with detailed descriptions of expenses.
Sarah Brune, executive director of the nonpartisan nonprofit Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, acknowledged lobbying is a controversial topic. But she said the Cook County report doesn’t necessarily tell a complete tale.”
