Office of the Governor
Speaker Carl Heastie and Governor Andrew Cuomo (seen here in 2015) joined Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins in empowering a commission to come up with a public-financing mechanism for state elections.
‘A small-dollar public financing program modeled on New York City’s would allow more candidates to build campaigns primarily on small donations from New Yorkers.’
City Limits uses investigative journalism through the prism of New York City to identify urban problems, examine their causes, explore solutions, and equip communities to take action.
Founded in 1976 in the midst of New York’s fiscal crisis, City Limits exists to inform democracy and equip citizens to create a more just city. The organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded by foundation support, ad sponsorship and donations from readers.
