Lobbying hits record in New York state politics

Lobbying in New York State reached a record high in 2022, with a total of $348 million spent, surpassing the previous record set in 2021 by $10 million, according to a report by the New York State Commission on Ethics and Lobbying in Government. The increase in spending was driven by a variety of factors, including the state's budget process, the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the legalization of recreational marijuana. The top spenders included health care organizations, labor unions, and energy companies, with the Greater New York Hospital Association leading the pack at $2.4 million. The report also highlighted the growing influence of lobbying in state politics, with more than 5,000 lobbyists registered in New York, and calls for increased transparency and accountability in the lobbying process.
