Thirty-Nine Democratic New York Legislators Ask Commission on Public Financing to Avoid Changes to Other Election Laws

On November 20, thirty-nine Democratic state legislators from New York sent a letter to the Commission on Public Funding.  The letter asks the Commission to only recommend changes to the campaign finance laws.

The Commission has recently shown interest in making it more difficult for groups to qualify as political parties, which was not their mandate.  The Commission’s recommendations will become law unless the legislature re-convenes in December 2019 and vetoes them.

  1. So if they release their recommendations on Dec 31st, they automatically become law the next day?

  2. It’s rumored that they will issue their regulations on Thanksgiving. A turkey with all the stuffing.

  3. @DR,

    That is the basis of the lawsuit by the Conservative Party, and the Republican defendants. Working Family Party is content with the commission making law with respect to public funding, but not anything to do with con-fusion.

  4. @DR,

    That isn’t it. That’s an advocacy group.

    I had found the actual website, which was quite modest. The video of their first meeting was shot with a cellphone, but I know there was video of later meetings. But it seems to have disappeared among all the news articles.
