Gounardes to intro ‘Golden Rule’ bill to keep campaign funds out of family businesses
A pair of Brooklyn pols will hold a rally Wednesday in support of a new bill dubbed “The Golden Rule” – seemingly named after former state Sen. Marty Golden – which would restrict the use of campaign funds at businesses owned by the candidates’ family.
The bill is set to be introduced in the state legislature by Assemblymember Robert Carroll, who represents Park Slope and Kensington, and state Sen. Andrew Gounardes, the Bay Ridge Democrat who unseated the eight-term incumbent in November.
(Updated 5:00 p.m.: The rally was originally scheduled to be held in front of the Bay Ridge Manor, a business connected to Golden’s family. It has been relocated to 250 Broadway due to weather.)
