The Clean Conscience Pledge was proposed by Citizens Union, Common Cause-New York and the New York Public Interest Research Group. It commits legislators to advance laws that limit legislators' outside income, close the campaign finance loophole for limited liability companies (LLC) and increase public transparency of discretionary spending.
My State Senator, Liz Kuegar, responded to my letter:
Dear Mr. Drucker
Thank you for contacting me regarding your support for the Clean Conscience Pledge. I have signed the pledge and I look forward to working with my colleagues in the legislature to enact legislation that will bring about real reforms.
The Clean Conscience Pledge calls for passing legislation that:
- limits outside income for legislators so we can focus on constituent needs,
- limits the ability of special interests to contribute unlimited amounts of money to all candidates for state office by closing the LLC loophole, and
- identifies the purpose for, and recipients of, all state funds allocated to be spent at the discretion of legislators and the governor to increase transparency and eliminate conflicts of interest.
These are all principles that I have long supported, and I cosponsor legislation to accomplish these goals. I will continue to make passage of legislation implementing these policies a top priority.
Thank you again for contacting me regarding these important issues. Do not hesitate to reach out to me again in the future about this or any other subject that concerns you.
Sincerely,
Liz Krueger
State Senator
