Abstract:

As the Portland City Council considers taking the historic step to become the first municipality in the nation to have a system of comprehensive public financing for candidate campaigns, questions have arisen about weaknesses in the current system of private campaign financing that a full public financing system might address. This report tackles some of those questions.
