Win in Washington

Clean Elections supporters in Washington celebrated a victory yesterday with the passage of a bill lifting the decade-plus ban on publicly financed elections. Called a Local Choice/Local Option bill, it repealed a ban put in place in 1992 and now opens the door for municipalities to introduce legislation creating full public financing systems for their elections. Congratulations Washington!
