Outside money pouring into Connecticut governor race despite public campaign funding system
Via The Republic
HARTFORD, Connecticut — Millions of dollars from outside groups are flowing into Connecticut’s tight race for governor despite a widely heralded publicly funded campaign financing system that’s intended to stem the flow of outside money.
Two political action committees — one supporting Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and the other supporting Republican businessman Tom Foley — have so far amassed a total of nearly $5.5 million in contributions. Most of it is being spent on TV advertising. Other groups, including gun rights and gun control advocates, are also pumping money into the election.
