About this organization
Mission
Reinvent Albany advocates for transparent and accountable New York government. We work to strengthen the Freedom of Information Law and put government information online. We advocate for government open data and the laws, practices, and funding to make it happen. We seek more accountable and better-governed state authorities, including the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). We believe fair, clean elections are the bedrock of our democracy and support common-sense, proven ways of reducing barriers to voting and reducing the influence of big money on elections. We fight to reduce New York’s $10 billion/year in taxpayer subsidies to corporations and ensure any subsidies are transparent and justified by facts and careful analysis. We aim to create a state government that is responsible, responsive, and above-board. We champion public integrity measures that reduce the risk of corruption and favor the public interest over the few and well-connected.
About
Our Focus: Open Government, Open Data, and Freedom of Information that put the state’s and city’s vast wealth of digital information online and allow the public to see what our state government is doing, how it spends our taxpayer funds, and who gets those funds. We fight for strong, effective Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) and practices that take full advantage of technology so that FOIL works better, is less expensive, and complements Open Data. Clean, Accountable Government with independent oversight, ethical behavior, responsible public authorities, honest budgeting, dedicated funds, and transparent lump sum spending. We expect New York government to be fiscally honest: to account for spending and borrowing in the budget and spend every cent of dedicated transit, clean water, and climate funds as pledged to the public. End Corporate Giveaways so that NY taxpayers stop giving away $10 billion a year in ineffective and wasteful subsidies to businesses that are motivated by politics and pay-to-play, and are highly vulnerable to corruption. Strong, Healthy Democracy with high voter turnout, publicly financed elections, vote by mail, ranked choice voting, and controls on campaign contributions and dark money.
