Everything you need to know about NYC’s top 10 lobbyists
In 2017, the list of the top 10 New York City lobbyists had a few shakeups from years past. Kasirer took the No. 1 spot by compensation, previously held by Capalino+Company, which dropped to No. 2. Connelly McLaughlin & Woloz is a new addition to the list, knocking off Manatt, Phelps & Phillips LLP, who had appeared on the list every year since 2012.

New York keeps shortchanging poor students
New York's Foundation Aid formula has major shortcomings, which include using a decade of inconsistent local share calculations, arbitrary floors and ceilings, old demographic data and guaranteed increases regardless of changing demographics or enrollment. As a result of these distortions, excess aid is sent to wealthy districts and poorer districts get shortchanged. The state cannot afford to fully fund the warped formula, yet advocates are calling for a $2 billion increase in Foundation Aid in the coming year.
