<http://ballots.blogspot.com/2011/05/this-is-second-try-still-just-draft-of.

Torres-Spelliscy to Stetson


Hearty congratulations to the Brennan Center's Ciara Torres-Spelliscy, who
begins a tenure track position at Stetson's law school this summer! Ciara
has been a great help to me in pointing out interesting items for inclusion
in the blog, and has a real passion for issues of campaign finance. I
welcome her to the academy.
