The Sconz is advocating “AB 65, which would create public funding for Supreme Court elections, by a 4-3 party line vote.”
AB65, according to LFB “establishes a means of providing public funds for candidates for Supreme Court Justice in primary and general election campaigns through the democracy trust fund .. a segregated fund established by the legislation. “ Segregated funds, wonder where I’ve heard that before
.
But the Sconz wants government funding not just for the campaigns, but even the media: “Ironically, the solution to both issues I believe to be one and the same: more public financing. Just as campaigns should be publicly financed, so should an increasing number of media outlets.”
Government funding for blogwriters… interesting idea… Although the bigger issue – instead of having the government solve all of our problems, if I want to share over $20 worth of my views on the SupCt race, why do I have to fill out 6 forms and have them notarized?
