Bi partisan task force unveils campaign fund reform
A bipartisan task force proposes campaign finance reforms and broader political campaign measures. If leaders call a vote before Friday the General Assembly adjourns for summer, support from lawmakers and watchdog groups is expected to be strong. The plan, created by Southern Illinois University Public Policy Institute, also urges more free air time for candidates, delaying the spring primary, and state funded voter guides.
