Say hi: DM or kate.conger@nytimes.com.
.@Lyft apparently has $30 million to spend on a harmful ballot measure that would deny their drivers basic protections, yet they don't have enough money to retain the same drivers they're trying to screw over? Make it make sense. #SickofGigGreedhttps://twitter.com/kateconger/status/1255526352813535232 …

When a company commits dollars to a lobbying campaign, do they have to spend all of it or could they take it back to pay their workers if they encounter financial difficulties?
In this case, they hired an external lobbying firm (shared by the other gig companies involved in the initiative) and paid their contributions already. It's not a line item in an internal budget that they can re-allocate.

*If* all the companies agreed to pull the ballot initiative, there may be a discussion about how to send back unspent funds. I have no reporting to suggest they will pull it, though.

They put the money into an account, but early on they said they would pull it out if there was a deal or compromise at the state level. So, I assume any contracts with consultants wasn’t for the full amount. There’s no reason it couldn’t be returned to the companies & repurposed.

I agree, but like I said, I've seen no indication it will be pulledhttps://twitter.com/kateconger/status/1255574626467409920 …
