During FY 16, three Justice Center staff registered as lobbyists in Rhode Island to supplement efforts to raise awareness and educate policymakers about justice reinvestment legislation being considered by the state legislature. This legislation was informed by analyses and technical assistance provided at the request of the governor, legislative leaders, and other state officials. As part of the lobbying effort in Rhode Island, CSG Justice Center also hired a government affairs and lobbying consulting firm called Pannone, Lopes, Deveraux and West, LLC to assist Justice Center staff with messaging, communications and setting up key meetings legislators, and other elected officials and stat leaders as necessary to further justice reinvestment legislation. By the end of FY16, Justice Center staff had completed all lobby work, filed all required reports and terminated registrations in Rhode Island. 0 279576 279576 0 630189 414815 215374 0 168328 121726 46602 0 2301443 1688577 612866 0 48436 4036 44400 1198818 0 Cash due to managed organizations 11045590 11045590 39693838 9177 781200 0 500000 1290377 38403461 0 2664311 2664311 41067772 39415411 781200 0 0 500000 1281200 38134211 0 2774323 2774323 40908534 Schedule D, Part XI, Line 2d Intercompany transaction that was not netted with expense on the audit report $500,000.
