What was lobbied

2 issue areas, each in the filer's own words, with who lobbied on it and where.

Agriculture AGR

This was with regard to the Department of Agriculture and the necessity for Rural Utilities Service to recommend alternative project delivery methods such as Design-Build in their grant/loan process to local governments (this would open up the process to best value to local governments and not just the current low bid/low cost scenario which costs more while delivering less in terms of the medium and long term on funded projects).
