Governor Gregoire’s 2007 budget includes a pilot program on public financing of judicial elections. This is an idea that I brought up back in September. Conservative groups that have tried to influence past elections are, predictably, opposed.

Just to be clear: I still think judicial elections are fundamentally different from legislative or executive elections, and the support of one doesn’t necessarily imply support of the others.
