Local governments lobbying
Cities, counties, school districts and their associations register on bills like any other organization. Many state laws set what local governments can tax, spend and do, so they’re among the most active lobbyists. Many register as “undecided”: on record without taking a side. Many of the associations are funded by dues from their member governments.
