Abstract
"Politics + Other Mistakes" piece on accountability in the state's Clean Election Law. The State Commission on Governmental Ethics and Election Practices recently held a hearing to investigate what happened to over $40,000 in public campaign funds giving to two unsuccessful legislative candidates. Julia St. James of Hartford ran for the state Senate as a member of the Fourth Branch Party, receiving about $50,000 in Clean Election funds. Sarah Trundy of Minot, a member of the Green Independent Party, received about $4,500 in public funds for her House race. Trundy and St. James both had given large amounts of their Clean Election funds to Dan Rogers of Auburn, a political consultant. Rogers, along with Jessica Larlee, recruited the two candidates and agreed to run their campaigns.
