I say cut public financing (PF) of campaigns at least for the upcoming election cycles through 2011 and let the politicians try honesty for a change.To say that public financing of political campaigns got rid of corruption in campaigns is ridiculous. It's admitting what many have always said, to wit, all politicians are corrupt. If politicians would stop being beholden to special interest groups such as unions and other lobbies there would be no need for public financing. PF only helps crooked politicians from building campaign war chests for future elections.

Many policians that rejected public financing got help instead from ACORN, SEIU, WFP, etc. Municipal elections are not included in public financing. Yet Democrats in certain targeted municipalities were helped by the aforementioned organizations.; December 9, 2009 at 11:31 AM

How about the special interest monies both of them took to run their last municipal campaigns? Absolute hypocrites these liberals are. Take all of the union and WFP/ACORN monies away and the dems will have nothing more than the republicans have had for years.; December 9, 2009 at 6:22 PM

Connecticut lawmakers were meeting Wednesday to discuss alternatives to bottled water. A new report by a Massachusetts watchdog group says many states spend hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on bottled water each year for state employees. Corporate Accountability International said Connecticut spent $500,000 on bottled water in 2008. Do you think Connecticut should cut back on bottled water spending?; December 10, 2009 at 3:04 AM
