ElectriCities misreporting expenses to the press
Well, the Rocky Mount Telegram reported $190,000 and this adds up to $260,000 and according to the Secretary of State Link, there are 5 staff lobbyists so it seems they did some kind of play on words and misreported the actual expenses. Plus, this is a lot of people.
