More About Lobbyists….
Wow! You had a lot of questions about lobbyists. Many of you tried NYC’s site for the lobbyist database. I’ll link it on the right so it’s easy to find. Were you surprised how much money is being exchanged?
Some of you didn’t see the power bucks that are making things happen in NYC:
The Bay Ridge Democrats taught me about lobbyists. They told me about the former Senator and lobbyists. It’s strange that they didn’t they call this out. Two contacted me and said they never saw this database and had no idea!
Lobbyists influence politicians to vote for (or against) policies. Sadly, communities don’t realize that many votes are decided by lobbyists controlling the vote. A lot of real estate issues in NYC, that we heard about on the news, can also be found in the lobbyist database of course Amazon is in there!
