Share this

The PR firm Lee Andrews Group has agreed to pay the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) $1 million over six years to resolve issues raise in an audit of its work. The company was paid $4.8 million by DWP for work the Los Angeles Times describes as being "advertising, communication, community outreach and media relations services." The firm worked as a subcontractor on the account to Fleishman-Hillard, which last year agreed to pay $5.7 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that it had overbilling the DWP and other public agencies.
