I seriously don't know: Is that somewhat out of proportion? I could imagine the aggregated Taxi lobby being represented somewhere close to that. It's after all a highly regulated market.


Uber built this large lobbying effort because they were getting killed by the taxi lobbies: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2014/07/31/t...


I can't imagine the taxi lobby has $40 billion and former White House advisors. The article says that Portland city hall was blown away by scale of Uber's response.
