Statement from NYC Comptroller Brad Lander on Transparency in Government

“New Yorkers deserve to know when their elected officials meet with people who seek to influence public policy because transparency is essential to maintaining public trust. The Administration’s decision to forgo regular reporting of high-level meetings with lobbyists is a mistake that may undermine that trust. My office will regularly disclose any meetings that I or my senior staff have with registered lobbyists, as part of our commitment to transparency and accountability.”
