Chicago January 21 Senator W Clyde Jones plans to introduce a reform bill in Springfield to place rich and poor candidates on equal footing by curbing campaign expenditures and ending vote buyer immunity. The measure, praised by Gov Deneen in principle, targets corruption in primaries and elections and would allow spending only by a candidate or a political committee. It aims to remove immunity for vote buyers and tighten enforcement to reduce illicit money in campaigns.
