Lobbying efforts top $17.4 million in Nebraska last year, watchdog group says
05.2.2018 / By Chris Dunker
Special interest groups spent a record $17.4 million on lobbyists and lobbying activity at the Nebraska Legislature in 2017, according to a new report from Common Cause Nebraska.
In 2000, gross earnings for the Nebraska lobby were recorded as $3,002,853. Since then, we have seen increases each year reaching an all-time high in 2019 of $19,405,061. The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, however, brought the steady growth in total earnings to a halt.
