"EIGHT INDIVIDUALS with
the power to fundamentally overhaul the way New York's
elections are run
gathered in the same room for the first time on
Wednesday afternoon in midtown Manhattan. Rhetorical
fireworks soon followed. While the first meeting of the
Public Financing Commission was largely focused on
organizational matters, it did offer a preview of looming
battles over the commission's reach in the area of fusion
voting — the practice of letting candidates run on multiple
party lines.
[T]he final package will be log-rolled.
If one of the commissioners strongly
supports campaign finance reform, but is modestly opposed to
a separate provision in the package, they'd be forced to
acquiesce to the package as a whole or torpedo the entire
thing "They just want one 'big ugly,' as they refer to it in
the Legislature, to vote on," said state Board of Elections
counsel Kimberly Galvin, Assembly Minority Leader Brian
Kolb's pick for the panel. "We don't necessarily want that
to occur here, where we have unlike things jammed together
and expect a yea or nay." POLITICO's
