Salem-area interests say D.C. lobbying pays off
2015
Overview
Statewide, Oregon businesses, governments, and others spent almost $13 million on lobbying, with about $3 million of that spent by public entities. These totals are estimates because the quarterly disclosure forms allow lobbying firms to round the payments they receive to the nearest $10,000. \"We feel really good about the value of the services we've received for the payment we've made,\" [Allan Pollock] said. That's especially true, he said, when compared to the years the agency did not employ a lobbying firm and missed out on some funding opportunities. Other area public entities that paid lobbying firms in 2014 included Clackamas County ($190,000), Yamhill County ($80,000), the Oregon Department of Transportation ($230,000) and the Oregon Health Authority ($80,000).
