House bill would help fund judicial candidates
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
On Day 5 of the 2005 legislative session, dozens of bills were assigned to committee in the House.
Among them is a bill by state Rep. Mary Margaret Oliver (D-Decatur), calling for voluntary public financing of major judicial elections. The bill would allow citizens to donate their tax refunds to a fund for judicial candidates.
House members were still struggling today with their new card-key voting system. When some members couldn’t get their cards to work today, House Speaker Glenn Richardson (R-Hiram) quipped: “It helps if you don’t use your American Express card.”
