Wow, that's _really_ sleazy.

Granicus, LLC of Denver appears to be a VC-funded firm selling 'legislative
management and digital marketing solutions for several government
agencies', i.e., they build and sell software for the public sector.

  The company since [2016] has focused on building the broadest cloud
  technology platform to help governments track and document their
  legislative processes and to engage their constituents with the kind of
  modern digital communications — apps, sophisticated web services, email,
  text and mobile phone notifications — that consumers expect from
  companies they do business with, Hynes said.

Just another bunch of Beltway bandits, except with a bigger than usual 
dose of chutzpah.
