But major “non-lobbying costs” were included in refunds. For example, former ComEd CEO Anne Pramaggiore, who’s under indictment, was listed in a chart as being paid $1.8 million in compensation and benefits in 2011 for “non-lobbying activity.” John Hooker, a former top executive and lobbyist also indicted, received $1.15 million in compensation and benefits in 2011 for similar “non-lobbying” activity. And Fidel Marquez, an ex-executive who oversaw lobbying and who has pleaded guilty, earned $748,000 in 2012, also for “non-lobbying activity.” Those payments are included in ComEd’s proposed refund, ComEd said.
