ALBANY – A hard-fought campaign against a new tax on non-diet soda helped to boost spending by lobbyists in New York in 2010 to $213.4 million.
Despite statewide campaigns last year for governor and attorney general that decried the influence of special interests on state and local governments, the Commission on Public Integrity reported that spending on lobbying in New York increased for the 11th straight year. The report shows that spending rose by $15.6 million over 2009 and that 4,091 clients sought the services of 6,659 registered lobbyists, compared with the 3,499 clients and 5,887 lobbyists in 2009.
