Legislators To Meet To Address Rescue Funds Provision for Clean Elections Program Reauthorization

Matt Friedman at politickernj.com is reporting that members of the New Jersey Legislature will be informally meeting this summer to determine how to address the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's Davis decision as interpreted in a letter opinion by the New Jersey's non-partisan Office of Legislative Services, determining that the rescue funds provision of the proposed law (A100) is unconstitutional. Advocates of the program believe that the rescue funds provision is essential to ensuring that legislators are not deterred from participating in the clean elections program.
