Reinvent Albany Opposes Changes to NYS Public Campaign Finance

Hudson Mohawk Magazine

Among the items included in the state budget are various provisions to further benefit incumbents and large donors in the public campaign finance rules for state level candidates. The changes would allow much larger donations to be matched and would also allow candidates to roll over $50,000 in unspent funds to another election. Rachael Fauss of Reinvent Albany discusses the group's concerns with the changes, and the need to make the state legisature more of an equal partner in the budget process with the Governor, with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
