Did Southern Company Dump Balch as their DC Lobbyists?
In January, we reported how 2017 was a bad lobbying year in Washington, DC for Balch & Bingham who lost half of their paying clients, and one of their top lobbyists in October.
Now, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, Balch appears to be faring worse: only generating $130,000 in fees as of April 24, 2018.
The most interesting news is that Southern Company and its subsidiary Alabama Power are no longer using Balch & Bingham for lobbying efforts on Capitol Hill as of 2016.
