Suffolk County Legislature

The Suffolk County Legislature has again voted to repeal its public campaign finance program. Two-thirds of lawmakers overturned a veto by County Executive Steve Bellone last week.

Outside of New York City, Suffolk County was the largest county in the state to establish a public campaign finance program. It didn’t survive a year in operation — without supporting a single campaign — before Republicans took away its funding.

The Suffolk County Legislature this week heard public comments on a GOP-backed bill to repeal a law that would allow political candidates to use public money for their campaigns.

On appeal, Democrats are allowed to vote on the new county legislative district maps. However, a final decision on the matter will be argued in court next year.
