Bill Lorge (LorgeforSenate@aol.com) email his list of Political & Media Reforms (a very useful list it is):
- Campaign Reforms
- $100 Limit
- Eliminate $1 Check-Off
- Matching Grant Money
- State Contractors Cannot Donate
- Eliminate PAC’s
- Ballots mailed out with Tax Forms (timing challenge, I think)
- Online Voting (more challenges)
- Term Limits
- High School Seniors can vote
- Eliminate the State Elections Board
- Media Reform
- Balanced Print Media Reporting (! – I like this: “A better solution would be to have the State put legal ads on the Internet and avoid putting them in the papers altogether. This would save a ton of taxpayer money and lower our local property taxes; As one Town Board Chair once told me his biggest expense is paying the local weekly paper for legal ads.)”
- We (the public) own the airwaves and should be free to use it.
I’m not sure my synopsis did justice to Lorge’s document. Print and read it yourself here: 155K PDF. Or read it by clicking below…
