Could be good, just have to await and see.

Good is subjective. What if I could reasonably promise "interesting" or "noteworthy?"

Everything is subjective; including who you choose to target with your smear-'stories'.

Campaign finance reform is long overdue in my opinion, but there are powerful forces to recon with in this greed driven arena. Until this type of reform can be accomplished we will continue to get screwed by purchased politicians with pre planned agenda..

Was this canceled due to the weather?

I give Franchot a lot of credit for having the guts to introduce such a thing, especially in Maryland, which is a tremendously overpopulated "crookdom."

Campaign finance reform is hopelessly unConstitutional, and nearly always merely a tool of the establishment to further entrench their power. How is it that if you think a candidate is finally the savior to our problems, you are only allowed to give about $2500 to his campaign? And yet, you hear of forty-thousand-a-plate celebrity fundraisers?

The answer is that the corrupt major parties have seen to it that THEY are the ones who get real power. Giving to the parties is not limited nearly like it is to individual candidates. And thus the citizen's power to support someone worthy is clipped. Only the party machine can do that, and thus it can make it nearly impossible for a good candidate to challenge the establishment.

""I'm calling on the governor and the General Assembly to marshal forces to establish a real-time campaign finance system because I believe we need to make it clear to citizens where and how money is flowing in our political system," said Franchot, "

This is what I posted last week. Open free contributions all on line with donor name, company name and amount.

Mr Franchot, ADD to your bill TAXING all contributions to the recipient at the highest going personal tax rate as income to the recipient JUST AS WE are all taxed on every dime we receive form any source. That would be hundreds of millions of dollars nationally.

It shows strength in character to fight the system. This man could be our next Governor. A lot of big names are being bantered about and at least he's got the guts to take on he issue.

LOl "Strength in character"??? It's called "grandstanding".
