ALBANY — Gov. Cuomo on Monday shot down the idea that a state campaign public finance system would take big money out of politics.

Cuomo said the controversial 2010 Citizens United decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that prohibits the restriction of independent political spending makes a "mockery" of public campaign finance systems like in New York City that seek to reduce the flow of big donations.

“You're not going to get the money out of the system until the federal government changes the court or the law or both,” Cuomo said on WNYC’s “The Brian Lehrer Show.”

“The money is coming in. ... It's going to be big money and big donations because the federal law guarantees that with this Citizens United case that has institutionalized（使...合制度） big anonymous（匿名的） money.”

Cuomo did not say whether he would follow Mayor de Blasio's lead in returning donations from Glenwood Management, which was caught up in the corruption trials of former Senator Majority Leader Dean Skelos and former Assembly（议会）Speaker Sheldon Silver.

In the wake of（由于；紧随） the recent convictions of the two top legislative leaders, Cuomo said he will push for another ethics reform package when the Legislature returns in January.
