Campaigns: State’s reporting laws vulnerable
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/13/7 State law currently prohibits corporations from donating more than $1,000 to a political candidate’s campaign during an election cycle.

During the 2007 elections,…

$25.2M spent on election contests
The Clarion-Ledger, 11/11/7 Candidates running for Mississippi’s eight statewide offices spent more than $25.2 million this election year, according to campaign finance reports.

Election is no guide in next year’s national race

The 2008 Mississippi Legislature: Is it ‘back to the future?’
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/11/7 Before last Tuesday, Republicans held five of the eight statewide offices. Since Tuesday, make the count seven of eight. Not so in the Legislature.
