Chicago, IL – Catalyst Consulting Group, Inc. (www.catconsult.com) is proud to announce
the launching of a new, interactive lobbyist Web site that will serve as a
portal for bi-annual reporting, yearly registration fees, and regular updates of
lobbying activities by providing sole proprietors and firms the ability to sign
up, secure payment, and effectively take care of all necessary steps that one
must do in order to become a registered lobbyist. This site is located on the
Cook County Clerk’s Web site (http://www.cookcountyclerk.com/ethics/lobbyistonline)
and was officially launched on July 2.
Under Cook County's Lobbyist Sunshine Ordinance, any individual receiving
payment or compensation for attempting to influence a Cook County elected
official or employee on any executive, legislative or administrative action

Campaign Disclosure Division. With the launch of Lobbyist Online, the Clerk's
new online filing system for lobbyists, data submitted by lobbyists will be
searchable and available to the public.
