Prof. Painter's Campaign Finance Reform Proposal Mentioned in Larry Lessig's New York Times Op-Ed

Professor Richard Painter's proposal for campaign finance reform was favorably mentioned by Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Lessig in his New York Times op-ed, writing: "Republicans, too, are increasingly calling for small-dollar funding systems. The legal scholar Richard W. Painter, a former 'ethics czar' for President George W. Bush, has proposed a $200 tax rebate to fund small-dollar campaigns." Painter spent the last academic year on a Harvard-funded fellowship to write a book about campaign finance reform.
