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."
