Show Notes
New York Republican gubernatorial nominee Bruce Blakeman faces a setback as the Public Campaign Finance Board blocks his access to millions in public matching funds due to a technicality involving his running mates missed paperwork. Blakemans allies accuse the board of partisan sabotage, while government watchdogs criticize the boards lack of guidance. The matching program, new for New Yorks 2024 elections, boosts small donations with public cash, but Governor Hochul has opted out with twenty million dollars already banked. Blakemans team plans to appeal, keeping the governors race in a tight battle.
