| Explanation | 2008 IS THE FIRST YEAR THE ORGANIZATION WAS REGISTERED TO LOBBY SO THERE IS NO DATA PRIOR TO THAT YEAR. 2010 THERE ARE NO HOURS BECAUSE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, EILENE, WAS WORKING ON ADMIN RULES AND WAS ASKED TO SERVE AT THE REQUEST OF THE DEPARTMENT (WHICH DON'T COUNT AS LOBBYING HOURS). ALSO, THE PUPPY MILL LIMITED THEIR CONTACTS DOWN FAR ENOUGH THEY WON'T HAVE TO REGISTER FOR THE 2011-2012 SESSION. | Explanation |
