The article reports that North Carolina Governor Mike Easley has signed the election finance reform and public financing of campaign bill in the old House chamber in Raleigh. The room was packed with reformers and legislators, young radicals and old Republicans, a few gaping tourists and a gallery filled by eighth grade students who had come especially to see this small step forward in the long battle to reclaim the people's government. People of any jurisdiction can pass the bill for themselves and make their elections voter-owned.
