Campaign Financed Reform. The League of Women Voters is co-sponsoring a forum on Campaign Finance Reform to be held on April 4. The event is open to the public. Speakers will include our state legislators and representatives from several organizations, including the League. There is real hope that, with the governor's support and continued pressure on our legislators, legislation might actually get passed this session in Albany that will include public financing which will reduce the high amounts required to run for office and make the election process more democratic and fair. The league has campaigned for this for a long time. |
