Re: Contract Addendum
Dear Ms. 0~eau:
'r~
During the Special Session of the Legislature earlier this month, the law was
changed to require that the services under our contract be reported in a manner that
reflects the fees allocated to services for (1) lobbying the Legislature; (2) lobbying the
Executive Branch; and (3) services that do not involve these activities. The new law takes
effect on January 1, 2006, and to be in compliance with these new requirements on that
date, you will find an addendum to your agreement with the Pennington Firm that allocates
the services and the fees into the categories described above. If you have questions
concerning the allocations or regarding the new law in any way, please feel free to contact
me at your convenience.
Respectfully,
Gv-
Peter M. Dunbar
