“With what could be the most expensive race for governor in American history on the horizon, state lawmakers in Illinois are considering a plan to use tax dollars to fund statewide campaigns for public office.
It would curb the influence of unions, businesses and the wealthy in politics while amplifying the voice of small donors in elections, according to supporters.
State lawmakers met in Chicago on Tuesday to discuss a donor-matching system that would use public money to match small contributions of up to $150 by a six-to-one ratio.”
