Only two of the 12 Chapel Hill town council and mayoral candidates opted for taxpayer financing of their campaigns. John Locke Foundation legal and regulatory policy analyst Daren Bakst makes some excellent points about this misguided policy in The Locker Room.

Meanwhile, Public Policy Polling puts the race for Chapel Hill mayor as too close to call. Candidate Matt Czajkowski leads Mark Kleinschmidt 45 to 44. This race is one to watch tomorrow night.
