One Example

Submitted by Katie Schlieper on Mon, 01/07/2008 - 20:14

Kory Payne of Voter-Owned Hawai'i uses a single example of a secretive government granting process to illustrate the larger need for Hawai'i to upgrade it's partial public financing system to a full public financing system and do away with the need for candidates for public office to run their campaigns with special interest money.Payne offers evidence of the success rate of Clean Elections programs in other states before calling on House Speaker Calvin Say and Senate President Colleen Hanabusa to move past incremental steps to thwart corruption and take on the larger project of passing a new full public financing system.
