BOX 247-250 | "Campaign Finances: Abuses and Reforms," 1996-1997 | ||||||||||||
This production contains three segments produced for Public Broadcasting Service's NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, and served as a companion piece for "The People and the Power Game." The first segment, “The Niagara of Money,” explores the breakdown of the Campaign Finance Reform Act of 1974 and how the Federal Election Commission has allowed the election system to be overwhelmed by the volume of money. The segment “Big Sugar-Sweet Deal” looks at campaign contributions and their ability to influence legislation, with a specific example of the sugar industry’s lobbying for import restrictions. The final segment, “Reform - As Maine Goes…?” focuses on the efforts of campaign finance reform, and specifically the push for public financing of elections in Maine and the McCain-Feingold proposal (later the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act). Materials include research, interview transcripts, and segment planning documents. | |||||||||||||
