New London, Connecticut Newspaper Calls on Legislature to Repair Public Funding Law

New London, Connecticut’s daily newspaper, The Day, has this September 27 editorial. It discusses the August 27 ruling that invalidated Connecticut’s public funding law for candidates for state office. The ruling invalidated the system because it discriminates so severely against minor party and independent candidates. The editorial is supportive of the decision and urges the legislature to correct the flaws in the law as soon as possible. The editorial urges that the legislature be called into special session this year, instead of leaving the matter unsettled and thus making it difficult for candidates in 2010 to plan ahead.
