We will be honored by the presence of Angel de la Portilla, a long time active county observer and professional lobbyist, who will speak about his work and the importance of professional lobbying as a part of public input to Orange County Government.

Please arrive promptly at 7:45 so that we can start and finish on time and give adequate time to Mr. de la Portilla.

We meet at the Denny’s next to the Orlando Baptist Church on 436 just south of the 408 starting at 8 am. The meeting will break just before 9:30 am.

On May, 9th 2011 County Watch sent an official statement to Florida’s Orange County Commissioners stating that we were watching who was signing in as visitors and the reasons they gave for their visits in an attempt to get better clarification for the sake of transparency.

From the  Orange County Lobbyist Requirements Page:
“If you are a paid lobbyist, representing clients and attempting to influence the
actions of the Orange County Board of County Commissioners, then you must comply
with all requirements of the County’s lobbying ordinance.”
