The Sheboygan Press rebuffs state Senator Joe Liebham for failing to support a bill passed last week in the Senate to offer a full public financing option for candidates for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The paper notes that the program enjoys strong public support. The bill passed the Senate on a vote of 23-10 and will now be considered by the Assembly.

The coalition in favor of public financing for Supreme Court races in Wisconsin continues to pick up support from many sectors, adding the formal support of Justice At Stake, the Reform Institute, and the Committee for Economic Development.
