Description
Summary:This article explains the role of the IGR lobby in the passage of TEA-21 and the nature of the coalitions and partnerships formed by groups within the IGR lobby to accomplish their policy goals. The data for the study are divided into three realms. The first identifies the priorities of groups within the IGR lobby and the types of coalitions that groups entered into. These data were gathered through examinations of IGR lobby testimony before congressional committees, interviews with organizational and congressional staff members, and from secondary sources such as the official publications and websites of IGR lobby organizations. The second part seeks to gain a more precise understanding of how state and local officials use non-PIG coalitions and groups to press for their policy objectives by surveying selected state and local government officials. Finally, the survey assesses the impact that IGR lobbying had on TEA-21.
