Déjà Vu: Debate Over Foam Food Containers Returns To NYC Council

Just as they’d done in the previous round, Dart is again spending big to capture the attention of City Council. Between 2014 and early 2017, Dart spent over $500,000 in disclosed lobbyist fees including $40,000 in payments to former Council Member Robert Jackson in 2016. Also, according to the NYC Campaign Finance Board, Dart’s CEO’s wife — Ariane Dart — gave $2,750 to Council Member Fernando Cabrera in the 2017 election cycle. Ariane Dart also contributed to City Council Speaker Melissa-Mark Viverito ($4,950), Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr ($1,000) and Council Member Rafael Espinal, Jr. ($500) so far during the 2017 cycle.
