A week from Tuesday voters in Alaska get a chance to vote on whether they want Clean Elections in their state. Appearing on the ballot as Measure 3, the Clean Elections Initiative would provide a full public financing option for candidates running for state office. Papers in the state have been alive with the sound of debate over the initiative right alongside coverage of Alaska's growing list of legislators under investigation, awaiting trial, or imprisoned.
Will Alaska voters say "enough is enough" on August 26th and become the 8th state to join the Clean Elections roster? We shall see.
