RFI ED interviewed for Chicago Tribune’s “Culture of Corruption” series
RFI ED Alisa Kaplan spoke with the Chicago Tribune about how Illinois’ lack of meaningful campaign finance reform contributes to the state’s reputation for corruption.
“Because we do have this problem of rampant big money in our elections, we do have this history of corruption, those are all good reasons to have strong campaign finance rules, and we don’t,” she said. “I work with a lot of people who work on these issues in a lot of jurisdictions or on the national level, and Illinois … is considered one of the most problematic states for campaign finance regulation.”
