Senate approves broad campaign finance reform bill
The Senate passed a major campaign finance reform bill to ban private contributions to congressional or presidential candidates and provide taxpayer financed elections. It would pay candidates from the Treasury: House members 90000, Senators 175000, and the President 21000000, aiming to curb donor influence.
