“I was hoping that I would be proven wrong,” said Susan Lerner, Common Cause’s executive director. “And instead, I was repeatedly proven right. There’s no satisfaction in that. The process was flawed from the start and indeed has played out as we thought it would.”

“It looks like it is technically legal but it is not what taxpayer money should be spent for. These ads look and sound like campaign ads,” Common Cause New York’s Executive Director Susan Lerner told the Daily News. “Public money should be used to provide the public with information that will assist the public in accessing public services and informing people, not for political gain.”

Calls for Malatras’ resignation grow

The good government advocacy group Common Cause/New York declared Malatras is "unfit" to continue as chancellor, and questioned his qualifications for the prestigious post, after spending just three years in higher education management positions.

Common Cause NY Statement Regarding Holding Andrew Cuomo Accountable

Earlier this week, Andrew Cuomo announced his intent to resign in two weeks after an investigation by the State Attorney General James brought his rampant sexual misconduct to light.
