- Urban Perspective; Public Financing of Elections in Local Communities
Public campaign financing enables candidates to wage competitive campaigns even though they lack personal wealth or access to wealthy campaign contributors. Public financing reduces candidate reliance on special interest money and, consequently, may change the reality of many government officials trading political favors for campaign contributions. Public financing is also used as an incentive for candidates to agree to campaign spending limits, which the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled must be voluntary in order to be constitutional. Full public financing ("Clean Money, Clean Elections") systems provide qualified candidates with all of the funding necessary to run a campaign. Once a candidate meets the fundraising qualification threshold, the candidate must cease all fundraising activity....

- Statehouse Beat ; the Election Financing Circus
Leave it to West Virginia to turn a small, relatively innocuous pilot project for public financing of elections into a political circus. I'm talking about the state Election Commission's 2-2 deadlock vote, blocking the release of a $144,471 supplemental, or "rescue," payment to Republican Allen Loughry, so that his publicly financed war chest would match that of the top-spending opponent so far in the general election. (Justice Robin Davis' campaign financing disclosure shows her re-election campaign spent $494,417 from May 9 to June 30, presumably in contracts locking up commercial air time now for the fall election.)

- Public Financing of Elections Needed
The November 2008 presidential election is still more than 11/2 years away, but 17 candidates are already seeking the Democratic or Republican nomination. Anyone who hasn't declared his candidacy risks not being taken seriously despite the fact that every candidate seems obligated to declare he or she is "in it to win it," which is probably another way to say "I'm not Dennis Kucinich.

- A Supreme Injustice
Pass campaign-finance laws. The remedy endorsed by President [Obama] in his SOTU address - new legislation - is the most practical near-term response to Citizens United. The ruling gave organizations like Public Campaign, which lobbies on behalf of public financing of elections, new ammunition and a boost of organizing energy. On its website (publicampaign. org), Public Campaign directs readers to a petition in support of the "Fair Elections Now Act" (found at campaignmoney org). The Act "will allow candidates to run for office using a mixture of small donations and limited public financing." It would set a limit of $100 on individual donations, and the bill has bi-partisan support: it is sponsored by two Democratic senators, a Democratic representative, and a Republican representative....

- Reclaim State Elections ; Legislature Should Get Behind Plan for Public Financing of Campaigns
At a high point in his State of the State speech early this year, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo called for the public financing of election campaigns. He rightly recognized it as a way to help our state legislators clean up their collective act and limit the corrosive influence of money on their decisions. His remarks were met with a round of applause, and then more dithering from the Republican-led State Senate, which has behaved as though it wants the public financing idea to go away.
