The Ashbury Park Press responds to the article it ran yesterday on proposed changes to New Jersey's Clean Elections pilot project, calling the changes insufficient to the larger goal: reducing the role of special interest money in state politics and getting more people to run for office. The paper recommends extending the Clean Elections program into the primaries and doing more for independent and third parties candidates. Finally, it takes issue with the pilot program taking place in only three districts: "Legislators of both parties should tell the speaker there's no good reason to delay public financing of all qualified candidates in all districts. That is the only way to achieve fully inclusive 'clean elections.'"
