PoliticsNJ is reporting that the Clean Elections District Selection Committee will be meeting today, despite the weather.
The choice comes down to the 12th and 14th districts — two districts with shared representation. What separates them, in my mind (as I wrote last week week), is the commitment by both parties to clean elections. While the Democrats in the 12th are on the record in favor of the program (they cosponsored the legislation), the Republicans have been quiet.
In the 14th, however, you have the two primary Assembly sponsors (Republican Bill Baroni and Democrat Linda Greenstein), both of whom sat on the committee that studied the earlier trial. Both want this program to work and said they will do what they can to ensure it.
If the state is serious about this, it will select the 14th. If not, it will select the 12th and let the chips fall where they may.
