The Wages of Campaign Finance Reform
Over at Draft Matt Blunt 2008, I take to task a Columbia Tribune columnist who defends state employees--in this case, Medicaid caseworkers--who tell recipients of state aid to call their legislators to demand more aid.

This is the face of the future with strict finance reform. "Merit"-based state employees with vested interest in expanding their budgets and power can speak to potential voters who have a specific interest in one set of public policies. And you, citizen, cannot.


Comments:
That is pretty slick. I'm amazed at the energy people have to accomplish these sorts of things.

My question is, how did they do it?
