After a one-year dip in revenues, earnings for the lobbying industry in Trenton shot up in 2015 and the top 10 lawyers and law firms that lobby saw their incomes increase as well.
Revenue for all of the 937 registered lobbyists in the state rose to $55,582,991 last year, up from $53,858,957 in 2014, according to statistics released March 3 by the state Election Law Enforcement Commission (ELEC), which regulates the lobbying industry and mandates financial disclosure. The 2015 revenues were still short of 2013′s revenues of $56,582,337, however.
