Event Description:
Truth, lies, money buys! Over the last four years, the Supreme Court has made several decisions that have drastically reduced all attempts to reform campaign financing. Sources estimate spending on ads for Senate, House and gubernatorial seats reached $1 billion in 2014. Many of these ads include false or misleading statements. The League of Women Voters believes these facts have negatively affected our democracy. Nation-wide only 37% of voters participated in this year's election. Therefore, across the country LWV has begun a three-year, in-depth study of what might be done to improve campaign financing. The study will look at the possibility of a Constitutional Convention to reform the process. Later it will focus on previous efforts to reform campaign finance and will also study the redistricting process that so distorts our campaigns. Six meetings are scheduled around Jefferson County to begin this study, including one in the Evergreen area. All meetings are open to the public.
