Do we want this kind of reform for Wisconsin?? not sure I understand if this is a good thing or not.

The Board of Supervisors in Brussels and Forestville Village Board both voted to join other Door County communities supporting a statewide referendum on campaign finance reform.

The Brussels Board of Supervisors voted Nov. 8 and the Forestville Village Board voted Nov. 21 to approve a resolution asking Wisconsin legislators to put a referendum on the ballot for the November general election, according to Door County United to Amend.

United to Amend is a national association of grassroots organizations to spearhead a movement to amend the Constitution that would limit financial contributions to political campaigns.
