Governor's Dollar Haul Not 'Clean Money'

By Adam Smithline, Cupertino

Editor -- The issue is much bigger than whether or not Arnold Schwarzenegger can resist the temptation to legislate in favor of special interests that contributed $26.6 million to him in his first year in office. At stake is the very principle on which our democracy rests: one person, one vote.

Only by implementing "clean money" elections, as they have in Maine and Arizona, can we make California's government accountable to Californians once again.
