Green Campaign Reform: Corporate money only

Tweet

Apparently, Common Cause has given Wisconsin politicians a second chance to respond to their ethics reform questionaire in an effort to make sure "no republican is left behind."

To refresh your memory: Here are the six reform/ethics questions: Survey

Doyle answered "yes" to all six questions the first time around.

Green's answers appear to be:"yes" to Questions 1, 4, 5, and 6 and "no" on 2 and 3. Most tellingly: Green opposes public financing for elections -- the absolutely bedrock ingredient necessary for effective campaign finance reform.

Green was too busy to answer the questions the first time around. "The conscious decision is, you've got a candidate for governor who's also a congressman, who's also a dad, who has a lot of things on his plate," spokesperson Graul said. "And frankly, answering the myriad questionnaires that have come into the campaign isn't always at the top of his list."

The survey was only six questions long with yes or no answers, it doesn't get any simpler than that. Pretty soon though, Green will have plenty of time on his hands.

Lately, Republicans have been saying that taxpayers should not be financing a lot of things including political campaigns. When you think about it they're right. Republicans don't really work for the taxpayer any longer, so its only fair they don't accept their money. They haven't done anything for the regular tax payer in years decades.
