CT:  FINANCING FACEOFF.   CTP.  “Republicans and state election officials faced off over public financing for political campaigns Monday, debating whether to reinforce the program or ditch it altogether.”

TX:  YARD SIGN PAYMENTS.   TA. “The amount of money Fortunato has paid his son’s company is irrelevant under campaign finance laws.
