Campaign spending in New York remains high despite reform

Albany reports indicate state campaign financing reform will not greatly curb spending in 1962. In the September Democratic primary candidates spent 5.5 million dollars, about 5.50 per vote. General election spending is expected heavier with Republicans rumored at 5 million and Democrats at about half. Carey’s primary spend of 2.55 million exceeded the 2.1 million limit due to loopholes.
