Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York's legislative leaders apparently have decided that April Fools is the perfect day for a not-at-all-funny prank on Empire State voters.<\/p>

After months extolling the virtues of a \"Fair Elections\"<\/a> public financing plan for New York's scandal-plagued elections, and even including money for it in his annual budget proposal, Cuomo cut a deal with top lawmakers that limits public financing to a single race -- for state comptroller.<\/p>

And the incumbent in the comptroller's race, Democrat Tom DiNapoli, already has built a fat campaign treasury and may end up essentially unopposed.<\/p>

The New York Fair Elections plan would have used state funds to match small dollar donations -- up to $175 -- to Cuomo and other candidates in November's state elections. The plan would have provided $6 for every $1 donated, so a $100 gift would be worth $700 to a candidate, enough to push candidates to pay more attention to small dollar givers rather than high rollers.<\/p>

Limiting the program to the comptroller's race is \"insulting\" to voters, Common Cause\/NY Executive Director Susan Lerner observed in a Tuesday morning interview on WNYC Radio.<\/a> \"This is not a workable system,\" she said. Cuomo and company \"are trying frankly -- I believe -- to fool people that something is being done when nothing is being done.\"<\/p>

Maybe just as bad, the governor and the lawmakers agreed to shut down the Moreland Commission, an investigative panel that was making headway in uprooting corruption in state government.<\/p>

\"This is not a good place for the governor to be,\" Lerner asserted. Cuomo \"hasn't really done anything to address corruption.\"<\/p>"}}]},"yoast_head":"\nCuomo, lawmakers pull not-funny prank on NY voters - Common Cause<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/fr\/articles\/cuomo-lawmakers-pull-not-funny-prank-on-ny-voters\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"fr_FR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Cuomo, lawmakers pull not-funny prank on NY voters\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/fr\/articles\/cuomo-lawmakers-pull-not-funny-prank-on-ny-voters\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Common Cause\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CommonCause\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/CC-Share-Graphic-Main9.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@CommonCause\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/articles\/cuomo-lawmakers-pull-not-funny-prank-on-ny-voters\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.commoncause.org\/articles\/cuomo-lawmakers-pull-not-funny-prank-on-ny-voters\/\",\"name\":\"Cuomo, lawmakers pull not-funny prank on NY voters -
