New York City Campaign Finance Board : ウィキペディア英語版 | New York City Campaign Finance Board The Campaign Finance Board (CFB) of New York City is an independent city agency whose purpose is to increase voter participation and awareness, provide campaign finance information to the public, enable more citizens to run for office, strengthen the role of small contributors, and reduce the potential for actual or perceived corruption. In response to corruption scandals in the mid-1980s, former Mayor Ed Koch introduced a series of ethics reforms. Most notable of those was the Campaign Finance Act, which was adopted on February 29, 1988 by City Council.〔(Advisory Opinion 1989-17 ), New York City Campaign Finance Board, April 6, 1989.〕 In 1988 the Charter Revision Commission proposed and passed question six, a public referendum that established the Campaign Finance Board.〔(Report of the New York City Charter Revision Commission Volume One ), New York City Charter Revision Commission, December 1986-November 1988. Page 42.〕 The referendum was approved with 79.8 percent of New Yorkers in support of the revision.〔(Report of the New York City Charter Revision Commission Volume One ), New York City Charter Revision Commission, December 1986-November 1988. Page 24.〕 The Board was created with the mission of reducing the influence of large private contributions in the political process. The voluntary Campaign Finance Program provides matching funds to qualifying candidates for mayor, public advocate, comptroller, borough president, and City Council. ==Structure==
