CHICAGO, The following was released today by the
Illinois Campaign Reform Coalition:

Strict limits on the size of campaign contributions and a ban on
contributions by corporations and labor unions led a 9-point blueprint of
government and campaign reform proposals unveiled Wednesday by a coalition of
reform advocates. It's an easy way
for voters to find how where candidates get their campaign money and where
they stand on important campaign and government reform issues.

The coalition of eight reform groups urged legislators, the Governor and
all constitutional officers to work together on a comprehensive package of
legislation that would reduce the influence of special interest lobbies and
restore the confidence of citizens in all branches of state government .
In addition to comprehensive limits on campaign contributions and
contributors, the blueprint suggests creating a voluntary public financing
option for judicial campaigns, strengthening the power of the State Board of
Elections to enforce financial disclosure laws, increasing the frequency of
disclosure of campaign contributions, mandating disclosure of lobbyist
contracts, requiring a cooling off period before legislators and state
employees could become lobbyists after leaving government , and creating non-
partisan voters guides with information about candidates on the ballot.org ) with information about most candidates
for appellate and circuit court judge, including subcircuit candidates .
