Bill would require reporting on casino gambling groups
A proposed New York Assembly bill introduced by Assemblywoman Gerdi Lipschutz would force reporting of contributions up to 5000 to promote or oppose casino gambling amendments and would not require disclosure for larger funders. Assemblyman Hy Miller charges the measure aims to launder money and benefit organized crime, while supporters say it targets small groups like churches and homeowner associations.
