Common Cause/NY to Mayor's Fund: Shut It Down

NEW YORK, NY (05/29/2018) (readMedia)-- In response to news that the Mayor's Fund is stalling, Susan Lerner, Executive Director of Common Cause/NY issued the following statement:

"Common Cause/NY's long-standing position has been that there is no place for a parallel organization to pick the pockets of private donors to fund public projects. It's not that the Mayor's wife, Chirlane McCray, should be spending more time fundraising or expanding the budget of the Mayor's Fund, it's that the Fund should not exist at all."
