Whitefish Energy, the tiny energy company that was offered a massive contract to repair Puerto Ricos power grid after Hurricane Maria, spent $150,000 on lobbying after the deal began to draw scrutiny.
A lobbying report filed Friday shows that the company spent $150,000 in the fourth quarter of 2017 to hire five lobbyists to represent its interests.
OpenSecrets.org first reported on the filing.
The company announced in October it had hired the lobbying firm Foley & Lardner. Among the lobbyists from the firm listed on the disclosure form are two former members of Congress, Dennis Cardoza and Scott Klug. Cardoza in October said he was the main lobbyist on the issue.
