Editor’s note: As lobbying shops report their second quarter compensation fees, several firms’ numbers are worth examining closer.
Capital City Consulting has demonstrated an impressive climb in its ten years since being founded, now representing at least 73 clients during the latest reporting period.
Each quarter, lobbyists who are registered to represent clients before Florida’s legislature or executive branch must submit reports detailing their client roster and compensation ranges. This week, reports are due for the period spanning April 1 through June 30, 2013 and reflect the year-round work that these firms do in representing interests that span every industry sector.
And for CCC, this is certainly the case. Between lobbyists Nick Iarossi, Gerald Wester, Ron LaFace Jr., Ken Granger, Pat O’Connell, and Chris Schoonover, CCC is able to manage a range of interests from A to Z . Or, more literally, from Aetna, Inc. to Zurich Co.
Between April 1 and June 30, Aetna compensated CCC by as much as $49,999 for legislative representation, while Citigroup and the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office each coughed up somewhere between $30,000 and $39,999. CIGNA, Equity Residential, Office Depot, and Reed Elsevier were among CCC clients who paid as much as $29,999 this quarter; while the Associated Industries of Florida, Citibank, the Florida Society of Ophthalmology, Visa, and 20 other clients paid as much as $19,999.
CCC represents a number of educational interests as well, including the School District of Palm Beach County, the University of Florida Student Government Association, and the New College of Florida Foundation.
For CCC’s tenth year in operation, reporting greater than $1 million in total compensation this quarter is no small accomplishment to boast.
