- bluGill 8y agoThe financial industry being in NY means actual voters. While a company cannot force their employees to vote in any particular way, they can make their employees aware that some politician did something... They can't actually say raises and bonuses were affected but if you read between the lines you can see the relation. The auto industry isn't large in NY. When enough voters in NY decide the auto industry is doing something bad, no amount of lobbing from the industry will prevent the laws they don't like. Politicians need votes. Money is not nearly as powerful as a voter who is informed.
