ALBANY — Gov. Cuomo, who at last count had nearly $14.4 million in his campaign war chest, took a swipe at “super PACs” yesterday.
The unlimited spending by businesses and unions from undisclosed donors can swamp individual candidates, he said on upstate’s “Capitol Pressroom” radio show.
Critics say Cuomo engineered the equivalent of a super PAC himself in the Committee to Save New York, a group of city business leaders who spent nearly $12 million last year from undisclosed donors to promote his freshman-year agenda.
Cuomo also said the state “has been run by special interests” for too long — just before flying to Buffalo for a $5,000-per-person fund-raiser.
