The Nichols Group Government Relations LLC reported paying $128.25 for them at Dinner with State Senator Drew MacEwen (1889 Prime Steakhouse, Olympia WA) for INVENERGY. Their statement for 2024 lists no meal or gift on or near that date from that employer or lobbyist.
What to check
- Whether the statement lists it under another name.
- Whether an exemption in the Ethics Act applies, such as food at an event sponsored by a civic, charitable, governmental or community organization (RCW 42.52.150(4)).
- Whether the legislator attended (lobbyists list who was there as they recorded it).
