Want a more accountable city government?

The Lake Balboa Neighborhood Council will hold a workshop on the Clean Money Public Funding System from 7-9 p.m. Wednesday, July 30, at Lake Balboa Studios, 7412 Balboa Blvd.

Other cities and states use Clean Money full public funding. In a Clean Money election system, candidates who agree to spending limits and agree to take no private contributions qualify for a set amount of money from a public election fund.

They are not be allowed to raise or spend additional money beyond what they receive from the fund.

The goals of full public funding of elections are higher participation by voters and candidates, truly competitive and fair campaigns on a level playing field, more women and minorities running for office and a limit on special interest money in campaigns.
