NYPIRG ANALYZES ALBANYS PAY-TO-PLAY CULTURE LOBBY FIRMS PUMP IN $1.8 MILLION IN CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS OVER PAST YEAR Lobbyists and their clients have always played an outsized role in the funding of political races in New York State. The first section of this report will look at the contributions made by retained lobby firms. The second section, beginning on page 5, will show that the influence of these firms is likely much greater than their direct contributions alone as a result of the practice of bundling donations from their clients. DONATIONS FROM LOBBY FIRMS Lobby firms, their PACs, and their employees directly donated $1,838,009.84 to state-level candidates and party committees over the past year.1 This figure represents about 4% of the total money raised during this time, and indicates that lobbyists working for retained firms donated nearly 70,000 times as much money per capita as other state residents. Unlike other jurisdictions, New York does not require disclosure of the identities of the political fundraising intermediaries who aggregate, direct or deliver contributions. However, as the second section of this report will reveal, the probable existence of bundling donations from these firms clients means their role in funding New Yorks elections is likely to be significantly greater than these staggering numbers indicate. Eighteen (18) states place complete bans on donations from lobbyists or place stronger limits on their donations than on those made by other residents.2 New York City also limits contributions from lobbyists or other individuals doing business with the City. NYPIRG strongly believes that similar limits should be included in a broad campaign finance reform package, which should also lower limits on all donors to candidates and parties, take enforcement and administration of campaign finance law out of the hands of the Board of Elections, require

greater disclosure, and promote reliance on small donors through a public financing system. Pending legislation would appropriately limit the role of lobbyists in political fundraising. A.5869/ S.37 (Kavanagh/ Squadron), which limits lobbyists to $250 per candidate per election and prohibits them from making donations during the months of the legislative session, is an exemplary proposal. 25 Highest-Giving Lobbying Firms

BUNDLING: A CASE-STUDY For years, anecdotes have described the frequent occurrence of bundling in Albany. Participants in this practice multiply their political contributions and influence by giving political committees checks written by members, clients, or associates. Other governments, notably New York Citys, require committees to disclose which of their donations were bundled and by whom.3 NYPIRG believes that a similar requirement must be part of broad campaign finance reform at the state level. This information would help voters fully understand the prominent role the lobbyists play in political campaigns and the true sources of candidates donors before casting a vote. This information should be made available in an easily understandable format. Since this information is not currently disclosed, it is impossible to know how common bundling is. However, a review of donations made by individuals and organizations with established relationships can indicate instances when this practice may have occurred. The following table presents a case study of likely bundling by examining donations made by entities linked to the lobbying firm Featherstonhaugh, Wiley & Clyne, LLP. This firm was chosen for this case study due to its significant role in the world of state political fundraising. To be clear, firms engaging in these practices on a state level are breaking no laws and have no obligation at the current time to provide information on these activities. As detailed in the first half of this report, they were one of the largest donors among the states lobby firms; of the top firms on this list, they appear to have the highest overlap between direct contributions and those made by their clients. Additionally, several of their clients PACs used the firms Albany address to register with the Board of Elections, suggesting a more active role than many other firms in dispersing money from clients.4 Finally, they are the principal lobbyist

Section 3-701 (12) of the Administrative Code of the City of New York defines bundlers as follows: The term intermediary shall mean an individual, corporation, partnership, political committee, employee organization or other entity which, (i) other than in the regular course of business as a postal, delivery or messenger service, delivers any contribution from another person or entity to a candidate or authorized committee; or (ii) solicits contributions to a candidate or other authorized committee where such solicitation is known to such candidate or his or her authorized committee.

For example, the New York Gaming Association uses the firms Albany address in both their lobbying and campaign finance reports. Pepsi-Cola Bottlers PAC is registered in Purchase, but every committee that received a donation from them reported it as coming from the firms Albany address.

for the New York Gaming Association, one of the highest-spending political organizations in 2011. This chart examines donations from the firm itself, its employees, the clients they represent, and some employees of these clients. Members of the New York Gaming Association and the Financial Service Centers of New York, both clients of this firm, are also included. Sixty-two (62) different political committees received donations from various combinations of these individuals and businesses within the time of one week; these donations were often reported on the same day. It should be reiterated that this synchronicity does not mean that bundling necessarily occurred. Several of these clients retained other lobby firms that may have been responsible for delivering these donations.5 For both of these groups and all of the others, it is also feasible that donations were made on the same day to the same committee by coincidence. It is unlikely, however, that there are not at least a few examples of bundling found below. It is notable that 45 of the 70 donations from the firm itself or one of its employees were dated on the same day as a donation from one of their clients. The probability of this happening completely by chance is statistically unfeasible. A state bundling disclosure requirement would remove the guess work as to the role played by lobbyists and others in arranging for political donations. The 287 donations listed in this chart total $559,383. An additional $978,256.87 in donations came from the firm, its clients, or related organizations over the past year, though these donations were not reported by committees during the same weeks in which they reported donations from other clients. Taken together, these numbers total $1,537,639.87, more than 3% of the total money raised by all candidates and state parties during the time period examined. A chart listing each of these donors and their relationship to the firm appears at the end of this report.

Among the services that lobby firms offer is direction and advice to their clients on how to effectively use campaign contributions to further their clients interests.
