The Sheboygan Press rebuffs state Senator Joe Liebham [1] for failing to support a bill passed last week in the Senate to offer a full public financing option for candidates for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The paper notes that the program enjoys strong public support. The bill passed the Senate on a vote of 23-10 and will now be considered by the Assembly.

The coalition in favor of public financing for Supreme Court races in Wisconsin continues to pick up support [2] from many sectors, adding the formal support of Justice At Stake, the Reform Institute, and the Committee for Economic Development.
