A coalition of business leaders supportive of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo spent nearly $5 million in the past two months lobbying in favor of the governor’s budget and his proposal to limit local property taxes, according to a new filing with the state ethics commission. The group, the Committee to Save New York, which registered as a lobbying group in January after facing criticism from good-government groups, has now spent $7.4 million since Mr. Cuomo took office in January, including more than $5.8 million in advertising expenditures.
