not helpful

Vague personal attacks aren't helpful, and I'm sure the Connecticut Common Cause staff that led the effort to pass the bill and are now working on implementation of the program wouldn't appreciate your assessment, Clark.

But you should know, it's not just Connecticut: Maine, Arizona, North Carolina, and other states have seen comprehensive public financing thrive for several years now, too.  Connecticut is just the most recent and is strikingly successful right out of the gate.
