[edit] Stages of the project

[edit] Taxpayer-funded lobbying association articles

Taxpayer-funded lobbying associations (TFLA) are organizations comprised of government entities, including school boards, cities, and county associations. The basic structure of an article on a taxpayer-funded lobbying association can be divided into three stages.

• Stage 1: Getting the basics done. Create the frame for a TFLA article by adding an introductory paragraph and organizational elements.
• Stage 2: Context for the page. Add tax information and legislative priorities to a TFLA page to make the size and scope of the organization more apparent.
• Stage 3: Further develop the article. Add lobbying or membership information.
