An initiative that is likely to be on the Denver ballot this fall seeks to spend city money -- as much as $8 million every four-year election cycle -- to publicly fund political campaigns. The money will inevitably result in less spending on other city programs.Re: Aug. 4 Vincent Carroll column.
I’m glad to see that The Denver Post is discussing campaign finance issues. Most reporting on this topic reads like a score sheet and does not consider the implications of money in politics. Everyone I talk to thinks money in politics is a problem and that our elected officials are responding to donors more than to constituents. No one knows what to do about it. I don’t know if CleanSlateNow.org’s ballot measure is the best approach, but I think it’s important that this is on the Denver ballot so that citizens can discuss further. I hope that The Post will offer more than opinion on the topic this fall.
