Advisor at Bingham Group, LLC
Bingham Group CEO A.J. Bingham and BG Advisor Andy Cates discuss recent changes to the City of Austin's Anti-Lobbying Ordinance.
On June 18th the Austin City Council approved what supporters described as a temporary solution to an ongoing battle between Texas Disposal Systems and other waste contractors over city lobbying rules.
The measure approved by Council makes a few small changes to the anti-lobbying ordinance, which is designed to prevent companies seeking contracts with the city from privately trying to influence city employees to choose their bids.
