It is important to recognize that the goal of Voter Owned Elections is not simply to reign in campaign spending but to put government back into the hands of the public. Voter Owned Elections help to ensure that politicians are accountable to the voters and not to well-funded special interest groups that donate large sums to campaigns. Public campaign financing also ensures that marginalized groups, such as women, minorities and low-income citizens who may not have access to special interest funding or the ability to loan themselves large sums of money still have an opportunity to participate in the electoral process.
So you're on 15-501 going towards Durham. You pass the Estes Dr / Univ Mall turnoff. And you pass the one (Elliot Rd?) with the Burger King right was after you turn and with a little shopping center on the right. (BTW, whatever happened to that big chunk of land that was going to have an expanded movie theater but the movie company and CH butted heads? That thing has been a big empty patch for a decade or so.) And you go to the next one...Eastgate on the left, Holiday Inn on the right. That intersection is crazy.

The website says that their mission is to, "support candidates and policies that promote the responsiveness, efficiency and fiscal health of our local governments."
