New cloture vote sought for campaign financing bill
Senate backers of a public financing bill for federal elections plan a second cloture attempt after a four vote defeat on the gag rule move. Majority Leader Mansfield said a new motion would be offered, with a vote set for Tuesday, as lawmakers defer to tornado relief areas. The measure would fund major party candidates with 15 cents per eligible voter in general elections and 10 cents in primaries, allow limited private contributions, and aim to curb special interest influence. Critics call the plan a raid on the Treasury and an invitation to corruption.
