Findings

Worth a look Lobbying

A $108.81 lobbyist-paid meal on August 6, 2024 isn't on their 2024 F-1

GORDON THOMAS HONEYWELL GOV AFFAIRS reported paying $108.81 for them at NCSL Washington State Night Dinner (Varanese - Louisville, KY) for GORDON THOMAS HONEYWELL GOV AFFAIRS. 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).

The lobbyist's report

Rule: Lobbyist-paid meal over $100 not on the F-1

“Gifts in the form of food and beverage that exceed $100 on a single occasion shall be reported as provided in Title 29B RCW.”RCW 42.52.150(7) ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works

Context Gifts and meals

Listed $3,000 in meals, travel or seminars from 1 source

The statement lists 1 item; the largest source is i sustain ($3,000). These are the kinds of gifts the F-1 asks for: meals over $100, and travel or seminar costs paid by an organization, which the $100 gift limit doesn't cover.

What to check

Who the sources are, and whether any has business before the official's agency or body.
For state officials: whether a source also appears on lobbyist reports.
