New York Lobbying Bill Narrowly Advances Reform
A state lobbying bill passes amid criticism it falls short of major goals. The measure hikes penalties from 5000 to 25000, allows random audits, and requires reports from large counties, while gifts under 75 dollars remain common. Senate leaders push for stronger bans but face opposition from Gov Pataki and Assembly leadership.

The 1796 New York City treaty with deputies from the Seven Nations, ratified 1797, extinguished most claims except St. Regis, under authority of Washington.
