How this list is generated

Names matching standard government-body language patterns ("City of", "County of", "School District", "Court", "Regional Transportation Commission", "Convention and Visitors Authority", "Nevada State Board of …", "Department of …", and similar) are flagged automatically. False positives can occur when a private organisation's name happens to contain these words ("City of Hope" is a hospital, not a city). The list above is descriptive — inclusion is a signal that public funds are paying for lobbying activity, not a claim that the lobbying is improper.
