New Haven Gets Green Light To Go Clean

On the same day of the sentencing of key players in a state corruption scandal, the city of New Haven learned that it has permission to point to a better way to run a government and a political system. The chief of the State Elections Enforcement Commission notified the city that the commission has approved New Haven’s request to take part in a pilot program to test out publicly-funded local elections. A new state law allows up to three cities and towns to try out such plans beginning in 2007. Now New Haven has to submit a formal plan to the commission by July 1. “Thank you for your interest in this experiment in democracy,” wrote commission Chairman Jeffrey Garfield.
