New Jersey 'Clean Elections' Program Dead -- For Now

Politickernj.com is reporting that Assembly Speaker Joseph Roberts (D-Camden) has declared New Jersey's Clean Elections program effectively dead due to Arizona's rescue/matching funds provision being held unconstitutional by a federal court. The suit was brought by the Goldwater Institute on August 21, 2008 in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's Davis decision earlier this year. See: Goldwater Institute's Complaint.
