Yee just a small part of a much larger problem
One of the most shocking parts of the scandal surrounding
Sen. Leland Yee is that his pay-to-play approach to
politics is legal and widespread ("Bills helped Yee line
coffers," Page 1A, April 20). Our campaign finance laws
create a system where special interests and the super rich
enjoy outsize influence while ordinary citizens are
ignored. Yee is just one small part of a much larger
problem. See the article on San Jose Mercury News website (In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107, this material is distributed without profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving the included information for research and educational purposes.) |
