New York City Lobbyists Take in $33.6 Million
Not-for-Profits and Corporations Driving Industry to New Heights
The NY Sun
Records of lobbyists' activities in NYC from 2004 shows that both Bruce Ratner and the Jets have spread around cash to more than one PR firm to lobby local government:
The Jets were not, however, the only entity with business before the city spreading money around to firms with ties to government entities.
Forest City Ratner, which has development projects all over the city and is trying to win approval to build a basketball arena for the Nets in Brooklyn, also hired several firms. An initial review of the report shows that Ratner shelled out at least $196,000 to three different lobbyists.
