Post Session Expenditures
1. Don’t split any expenditure with a non-registrant, including a company that is not actually registered as a lobbyist.
2. Be there. Presence is more than a wave and a nod.
3. If you cross the detail reporting threshold, make sure you report it.
4. Remember to get the names of guests of the member or staffer for your records. You have to report expenditures for that class of recipients, and it is smart to have verification of your reports.
