The METS owner Steve Cohen and other casino bidders go.

Six of the top 10 issues that the New York government started last year were Casino bidders who led a record of 138 million US dollars for the mayor, Eric Adams, and other elected and agency officers for support.

Overall, Pro-Casino interests spent more than $ 6 million for lobbyists to gain support, according to data and the annual report, which was compiled by the city clerk's office.

The total expenditure of 138 million US dollars for Lobbying has a jump of over 7 million US dollars of $ 130.96 million in 2023, the report says. “This output level for casinos was the full employment law for lobbyists in 2024,” said John Kaharmy, Executive Director of Government Watchdog Group Reinvent Albany.
