Support for Four Bills Holding Public Authorities More Accountable

As part of our advocacy for accountable public authorities, Reinvent Albany reissued memos of support for the following bills:

  • S2377 (Mattera) / A2479 (Colton) Allows the Governor, Senate, or Assembly to reject new authority subsidiaries.
  • S2157 (Comrie) Requires municipal housing authorities (including NYCHA) to report use of state funding to the Authorities Budget Office. 
  • S2459 (Comrie) Repeals 2019 changes to Public Authorities Control Board.
  • S3736 (Comrie) – Increases transparency of grant and bond applications to the  Public Authorities Control Board.

We urge the Legislature to pass these bills, and the Governor to sign them.
