Common Cause/NY Releases Party Housekeeping Briefing

Highlights LLC contributions and the double money cascade

NEW YORK, NY (04/28/2016)(readMedia)-- Common Cause/NY will hold a press conference call/webinar to release a briefing on contributions to party Housekeeping accounts in New York State from 2013-2015. The briefing will focus on LLC contributions to these accounts and the need to close the infamous "loophole" which treats limited liability companies as individuals, subject to the much higher contribution limits. Combined with Housekeeping accounts that can accept limitless amounts of money, these two funding streams converge to create a cascade of influence.

Common Cause/NY will also call on the Governor and Legislature to close the loophole and enact other important anti-corruption measures before the end of session.

WHO:

Common Cause/NY Executive Director, Susan Lerner and Research & Policy Manger, Prudence Katze
