City Council member Lincoln Restler is advocating for ex-Governor Andrew Cuomo to be denied public matching funds for his mayoral campaign amid allegations of illegal coordination with the PAC 'Fix the City.' Restler emphasizes the need for accountability, urging the Campaign Finance Board (CFB) to investigate prior to the upcoming primary. Cuomo has faced complaints over campaign practices and has recently received $1.5 million in matching funds despite these allegations. Allies call for reform and pledges to ensure politicians serve public interests over corporate ones.
Andrew Cuomo is not following the rules. He is breaking the rules at every turn. There needs to be accountability.
We want to make sure that the elected officials are working for the people and not corporations.
Where there's smoke, there's fire. We're asking for a pause in the disbursement of matching funds.
Cuomo has benefited from at least three undisclosed lobbyists who were fundraising on his behalf.
