And then there was one

Five of the six candidates for Senate and Assembly in the 14th District have crossed the first Clean Elections threshold, qualifying for public financing and it appears that the second threshold — 800 $10 contributions — maybe within reach soon.

The only candidate not to qualify — as far as public reports go — is Democrat Wayne D’Angelo, who was away and unavailable when we tried to reach him on a separate question earlier this week.

It looks like the program will be a success and it will be interesting to see how the election plays out once everyone is on board. Maybe there is a chance that the amount of money given to each candidate can be reduced in the future?
