> I view it as telling that Uber spent roughly four times what the taxi lobby spent

Uber spent four times as the taxi lobby spent on a single politician. I don't know what the taxi industry's total is. Given they shower tens of thousands of dollars on even state senators [1], I'd wager it's comparable to Uber's.

Thanks for clarifying. Good correction. I wish this data were easier to compare in an apples to apples fashion. :(

(Big apples to big apples, maybe, given the city in question?)

I can no longer edit my grandparent comment to account for your correction, so this will have to do.
