When public financing isn't

July 20, 2008 4:21 PM - comments (1)

San Francisco has what supporters call "VoterOwnedElections" — aka, public funding of (some) public elections. That's a good thing, as most in the city believe. But now the city council, apparently pushed by the (apparently not as progressive as we thought) Mayor, is planning on raiding the public campaign financing fund. The key Supervisors to contact are Supervisors Maxwell, Dufty, and Sandoval.

Uhm, could we have a link to a news story or other coverage of this in a little more depth? You assert that the city council is "planning on raiding the public campaign financing fund;" how do we find out more about these alleged plans?

Not trying to troll, but none of the links in your article was terribly informative about the news that you report.
