Is there a need for further campaign finance reform?
Given the record amount of money spent on campaign advertising in 2008, is there a need for further campaign finance reform? This is a topic for my speech class, and I need opinions and why or why not there is a need.

These people are buying influence. Government contracts, regulation, laws, all of the above is for sale. If some huge Military Contractor gives a huge sum to candidate B, then B gets elected, would you consider the contract awarded to MC a coincidence? Our democracy is under attack.

Mayor Abdul Haidous of the city of Wayne and Sterling Heights Mayor Richard Notte were in Lansing on Thursday, with Michigan Municipal League staffer Andy Schor, to testify at the Senate Finance Committee's first hearing on SB 34, which would eliminate the personal property tax. Read the Feb. 3rd Action Alert (http://www.mml.org/advocacy/alerts_advisories/2011_02_4_action.html) which explains the League's position on the bill, and the steps local leaders are taking to make sure committee members understand the devastating impact this would have on local public services should it be enacted without a replacement for the revenues to local communities. For more about the League and what we do go to mml.org.
