Connecticut Fails to Ease Clean Elections Discrimination

The Connecticut legislature adjourned, and failed to pass any of the 5 bills that would have eased the discriminatory aspects of the “Clean Elections” public funding bills. The Connecticut legislature had passed “Clean Elections” in 2005, but basically excluded all candidates except Democrats and Republicans. The funding does not begin until 2008, so it is possible something will be done in the 2007 legislative session. If not, the ACLU will sue on behalf of the Green Party.
