Conn. candidates line up for public financing
Barack Obama may have abandoned public financing for his presidential campaign, but in Connecticut legislative candidates are lining up to get campaign cash from the state government.
About 70 percent of the Nutmeg State's candidates for General Assembly this year are expected to sign on to a new public financing election program. Not only does it provide hefty grants, it offers extra money to combat opponents who don't participate and a promise of more cash to counter negative ads from third parties.

To hell with public service, save yourself! |
