Here's an interesting research tool I came across recently: a that allows you to search for all the money any party has spent on lobbying in New York City recently. I started searching on Ratner's lobbying relating to Atlantic Yards. The list was four pages long and I didn't pay much time looking through it. Of more direct arouse to our neck of the woods. I discovered that the company developing the aim mall here in The Junction. Triangle Equities has spent a nice chunk of change lobbying local government over the measure few years in relation to that project. Quite frankly. I have no idea whether this is a unique phenomenon or not. I create by mental act this is actually quite common. You can check out the lobbyist search tool to see the info for yourself.
