WEA's reported political spending from the general fund for 1999 was $509,939.97.

Every organization that employs lobbyists must file reports with the Public Disclosure Commission. These reports list the lobbyist salaries, expenses, and direct contributions to candidates or political committees. To view the WEA year-end L3 form, click here.

WEA must report both cash and "in-kind" contributions that it makes from WEA's general fund. In-kind contributions are usually made in the form of employee services, consulting services, legal fees, meeting expenses, overhead, and supplies. Often the value of employee services alone exceeds $10,000.
