The Seattle Times offers this
report.
Rep. David Price offers these
thoughts (paid subscription required) on Roll Call's
50th anniversary. The remarks begin: "When I first ran for Congress in
1986, I was not inclined to emphasize my previous career as a professor
of political science and public policy at Duke University. But when I
finally got together enough money to take a poll, I found that voters
thought well of Duke and ranked teaching and writing about Congress
highly as preparation for serving there. So I switched my strategy and
cut an ad showing me at the blackboard!"
The LA Times offers this
report,
with the subhead: "The state's Fair Political Practices Commission is
understaffed, leading to long delays. Justice must be swift, insist
those who follow politics."
The OC Register follows
up on its story that I blogged about yesterday.
Bob Bauer has this
very interesting post up this morning.
The Orange County Register offers this
report,
with the subhead: "Gov. Schwarzenegger has used taxpayer-funded
resources on numerous occasions for campaign goals, despite laws meant
to curb such activity."
