Amazon Quietly Bankrolled $5 Million Campaign Against NYC Delivery Bill

Amazon secretly pumped $5 million into a campaign against a proposed NYC delivery bill, masking its financial involvement by claiming it was part of a coalition of workers, small businesses, and carriers. This move underscores the tech giant's influence in local policymaking, raising questions about transparency and corporate power in legislative processes. The bill aimed to regulate delivery operations and improve conditions for workers, but Amazon's intervention highlights the broader issue of corporate lobbying efforts shaping public policy.
