Money in
Politics:
The impact of unchecked
campaign financing
and what we can do about it
7pm,
Wednesday, April 10, 2019
University of Akron - Olin Hall, Room 124
160 E. Buchtel Ave, Akron, OH 44304
ABOUT THE PROGRAM: It’s
been nine years since The Supreme Court issued its Citizens United
Ruling. While we know campaign financing has increased
exponentially, what we don’t know is where all the money’s coming
from. Dark money, money from non-profit political action committees
(PACs) that do not require source disclosures, has become more
prevalent in state and local office campaigns. What can we do, if
anything, to shed light and stem the flow.
Co-sponsored by The Bliss
