Fund ItSubmitted by Katie Schlieper on Thu, 05/15/2008 - 10:35am.

The Asbury Park Press issues a stern warning to New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine and the state legislature to restore funding for the state's Clean Elections pilot program and expand eligibility to include primary races, where newcomers have the best chance to mount competitive bids.
Money for Clean Elections must be included in the budget due July 1 so the program can be expanded to cover the June 2009 primaries — one of the steps needed to improve the program, which last year covered three legislative districts. Funding primaries would encourage newcomers, women and members of minority groups to seek their party's nomination. That would help break the stranglehold political party bosses have on primaries, which leads to too many uncontested elections with too many familiar faces.

I am very surprised and disappointed to learn that you have not included continued funding for this in the state budget. I understand how difficult it has become for states to deal with serious deficits, but to cut a very successful program that is ensuring cleaner and honest elections of candidates beholden only to their constituents is most unwise. This is a foundation for good government, and I implore you to restore funding for it. Governor, Post new comment |
