Just when you thought your money was safe from political campaigns?.Senate Bill 20, Voter-Owned Election for Treasurer is on today?s Senate calendar. If taxpayer funded elections were a bad, very bad idea for municipal candidates, paying for council of state races can?t be any better. And consideration of using taxpayer money for politician?s campaigns while claiming there is no money for mental health, (while wasting millions) no money for teachers, and a bulging deficit seems insulting at best. And do we really want the person in charge of all the state’s money to start out on the public dole?
Message to politicians: Pay for your own campaigns!
