Small-donor democracy is good for local government

I was privileged to be a panelist at a forum on small-donor democracy on Sept. 18, hosted by the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform (ICPR) at DePaul University.
This was a natural follow-up to our community forum on July 2, in which we had a lively community discussion on this topic. I would like to continue the conversation and hope my fellow Oak Parkers do, too.
Small-donor democracy basically is a program where candidates for local office raise a certain level of small donations from local residents, which are then matched from a publicly administered fund.
