Election Funding
3.) A law authorizing public funding for candidates for state elective offices was enacted in 2007 and financed the election expenses of most candidates for the state legislature in 2008. Should this law, which created the Citizens Election Program (CEP), remain on the books for the 2010 election or should it be repealed and the tax dollars the CEP will provide to candidates to pay their campaign expenses be used to help eliminate the state’s budget deficit?

Repeal the law and use the money in the CEP to mitigate the deficit.
Keep the CEP in place for the 2010 statewide elections.
