The troubled Spartanburg pound in SC spent $17 grand on lobbying last year according to the group’s 990 tax form (page 10). The Spartanburg pound has no lobbyists on the payroll to my knowledge so I presume they gave the money to one of the large national animal groups who does. The form doesn’t state to whom the $17,ooo was paid.
In other news, the head of the Spartanburg pound is quitting his job to take a position with the ASPCA as the director of legal advocacy case development, effective April 20.
