Refco as an employer string inside Lake Forest, IL
$20,750 requires both keys: industry grouping REFCO and contributor city LAKE FOREST with state IL. Lake Forest, IL is every employer string in that city. Refco is that employer string in every city. This page is the intersection. It is not a restatement of either hub.
Eleven receipts from 2 donors produced $20,750. Two donors is the extract headcount for the pair, not a census of every person who ever listed a related firm. Repeat gifts explain why 11 exceeds 2. Mean per receipt is about $1,886; mean per donor is $10,375. Those figures are packet quotients, not typical bonuses.
REFCO is the exact stored label. Variant spellings, successor names, and job titles are other keys. $20,750 counts only rows that stored this string in Lake Forest, IL. City labels are filer-entered; Lake Forest is not merged with Lake Forest, California or other identical city names in other states.
Lake Forest, IL with the employer filter off
Lake Forest, IL shows $157,374,022 on 74,902 contributions when industry is not restricted. $20,750 is under 0.1% of that city book. A thin share is the usual result of exact employer matching on a large city tape. The packet does not publish a futures-or-brokerage sector roll-up. Do not treat $20,750 as Lake Forest's financial industry.
Lake Forest is an Illinois city string. Illinois campaign finance is the state parent, not an amount to add. These rows already sit in the state extract when the tape is the same. All FEC ties indexes other city-industry pages. Sibling joins are not components of $20,750.
Refco lines that are not Lake Forest
A REFCO donor stored in another city belongs on the industry hub, not this join. A Lake Forest donor with a different employer string belongs on the city hub, not this join. The packet publishes $20,750, 11 contributions, and 2 donors for the overlap only.
This packet does not name committees, parties, or cycles for Refco × Lake Forest, IL. If those cuts exist, they live on the live Refco page or the live Lake Forest, IL page. Keep both nouns when quoting $20,750.
What the Refco × Lake Forest dollars leave out
Unitemized federal gifts, Illinois state-office filings, and independent expenditures sit outside $20,750. The total is not a firm trading book and not a bankruptcy-estate figure. PAC addresses that stored LAKE FOREST and REFCO follow the same two-field rule as household streets.
Two donors and $20,750 do not show that Refco ran Lake Forest politics. Correlation is not causation. If a later FEC extract revises $20,750, 11 receipts, or 2 donors, the newer extract controls. This page is a snapshot, not a second filing system.
Lake Forest, IL and Refco links without mixing statutes
Use Lake Forest, IL, Refco, Illinois campaign finance, and All FEC ties. Those four hrefs are required. FEC Schedule A is not USAspending. Do not fold $20,750 into federal awards coded to Illinois. Different statutes, different forms.
Cite Refco and Lake Forest, IL together. $20,750 is already inside $157,374,022. Adding the join to the city book double-counts. 74,902 is the unfiltered city line count; the join's line count is 11.
