The Tallahassee Democrat doesn't give this story the most encouraging lede in the world, but it looks like Florida's system of partial public financing for Governor and state Cabinet races isn't going to get the ax this year, and that's good news for those looking to bring full public financing of campaigns to the state, and expand it to cover more offices. The House passed a bill that would have asked the voters to repeal the system, but the bill looks unlikely to make it to a vote in the Senate before the legislative session ends.
