How about a draft ordinance as a beginning?
Four of five of Colorado’s largest cities are changing to or have changed to Publicly Financed Local Elections. It’s a trend. Isn’t it past time to open up a dialog on this subject? Do you like the sound of “Recycling Ownership of Elections?” Do you like the idea of “Protecting People without means?” Have we “sold” our elections? Are the voters disenfranchised due to the “Big” money in our local elections? What does “cleanslatenowaction.org stand for? Is there the Public Will? Does City Council have the courage to move forward on this subject of Publicly Financed Elections?

Does city council represent the demographics of Colorado Springs? What are the donation limits in Colorado Springs?
