The Los Angeles City Ethics Commission (LACEC) provides detailed lobbyist disclosure reports for in-house lobbyists and lobbying firms registered with the City of Los Angeles. The amount of detail is impressive but sometimes having a birds-eye view of the data is also helpful. The tables below show the top ten lobbying firms by amount of payments received from clients between January 2007 and December 2009. For more information about the influence of money in Los Angeles city politics, see the Center for Governmental Studies report titled Money and Power in the City of Angels.
