Budget includes public campaign financing

Legislative Gazette

Gov. Andrew Cuomo's budget includes a public campaign financing system based on New York City's model.

Under the governor's proposal, contributions of up to $175 would be matched $6 to $1.

Republicans in the Legislature have been opposed to public financing.

The proposal Tuesday also includes new restrictions on personal use of campaign funds and other measures aimed at public corruption.
