Scharff: Moreland needs to push for public financing of
campaigns     I asked Scharff what gave her that last
impression.         1. Responsible Liberal says:      Everyone
else is on welfare, so we might as well add the politicians too.
2. hawkny says:      Public funding of the NYS Legislature has
to be accompanied by full time status for members of both houses
and a change in the term of office of the Senate from 2 years to
4 years… no outside employment either…    3. InsideOut says:
Taxpayer dollars to fund incumbents to run for their position is
so absurd, it’s hard to even write about it. So, Ms. Scharff,
your solution to reduce the influence of the
corporate/billionaire classes buying of elections is to add even
more money to it? And, extract it from voters without their
consent? Like the rich won’t just overwhelm that with even more
money?      And, if anyone out there thinks that Ms. Scharff and
the rest of the “campaign reformers” aren’t going to find some
way to get on the gravy train 9and
