The Daily Tar Heel reports out on a recent town hall meeting on the Voter Owned public financing program being considered by the Chapel Hill, North Carolina Town Council to cover their elections.  The idea has already been approved by the North Carolina legislature.  The cost of running for office in Chapel Hill runs in the thousands of dollars -- certainly nothing like the millions it takes to run for federal office, but well out of reach for many people interested in public office but without access to wealth.
