Supreme Court funding plan questioned by new loophole
The new presidential campaign funding system passes core constitutional tests but a loophole lets nonactive candidates like Terry Sanford still qualify for federal funds. The Pro-Life Action Committee plans to access funds for anti abortion messaging, drawing criticism as a perversion of campaign finance law. Rep. Charles E. Wiggins calls this misuse a serious issue. A stray historical note recalls Georgia in 1776 and Provincial Congress president Archibald Bullock lifting duties after Gov. Howard Wright fled Savannah.
