By the Numbers
Behrco, a lobbying firm, is representing the Art Academy of Cincinnati on this engagement. Bill Behrendt, the firm's founder, is leading the lobbying effort. No specific legislation was identified in the lobbying disclosure act filing, and no historical spending data is available for comparison since this is a new client registration.
