Calling the proposal "a crushing blow" that would "cripple" the state, Democratic Governor Mario Cuomo vowed to fight the disallowance provision with every means at his disposal. Those include a plea to New York City's generous political contributors, who help bankroll every national campaign and many important state races, to boycott fund-raising activities on behalf of candidates who support the measure.
