Do you think our tax monies are spent wisely?
Special interests supply much of the money to the candidates and their party as the costs for campaigns continue to grow completely out of hand. Unfortunately that is unlikely to change anytime in the near future. The same can be said for any movement toward term limits for Legislators. We can always do better in the way taxpayer money is spent.
