North Carolina Judicial Public Financing Praised posted by Monica Rober on 07-02-2009 The nonpartisan Center for Governmental Studies has released a report praising the North Carolina judicial public financing system. Published in: Center for Governmental Studies | judicial elections | judicial public financing | north carolina NYT Editorial on New York posted by Monica Rober on 07-02-2009 The New York Times editorializes on the state of politics in New York and makes some suggestions. "CLEANER MONEY New York’s campaign finance system is a disgrace. When the Legislature is in session, lawmakers spend every night harvesting campaign funds, often using loopholes as big as a bank. Write “party housekeeping” on the check, and it can have as many zeros as you want. Corporate subsidiaries have a field day. And the lobbyists who write the checks then also write the laws. Public financing should be the goal, but even real, enforceable limits would be a start." Published in: campaign finance | New York | Public Financing | The New York Times Newest Senator Takes on Campaign Finance Reform posted by Monica Rober on 07-01-2009 Democrat Al Franken is set to be sworn into the Senate next week as Minnesota's second senator. As a member of the Judiciary Committee, one of his first acts in office will be to interview U.S. Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor at her confirmation hearing. Franken intends to use this opportunity to ask Sotomayor about campaign finance reform. "Interviewed on Minnesota Public Radio this morning, Franken said he is concerned about the role of corporate money in political races and would quiz Sotomayor on constitutional barriers to public financing of campaigns."
