Based on data from the lobbyist expenditure forms filed with the Office of the Secretary of the Senate.  Senate rules allow lobbyists, at their discretion, to report all expenses -- that is, money spent lobbying the Senate, House and executive branch -- rather than breaking out Senate lobbying only.  Therefore, these numbers should be considered extimates of total lobbying expenditures.

*Refers to the third definition of lobbying records provided in the current version of SB1, which calls for reporting of "any gift, entertainment, meal, transporation or lodging."
