[edit] Lobbying

Main article: Illinois taxpayer-funded lobbying

Rock Island County does not employ lobbyists. It does belong to associations that lobby. The county asked for $5 for a CD of data from 2007-2010 (to provide data since 2005 would be unduly burdensome). Sunshine Review did not proceed on the request.[25] [26]
