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.

Andy is a legal expert in Texas campaign finance and lobby laws, nonprofit management, and political fundraising & advertising law. \

He is available to present and discuss the City of Austin's current lobbying ordinance in particular to its impact on land use professionals (planners, engineers, architects, and designers, etc.).
