Watch: Ballot Question 2 Debate Over Citizens United And Campaign Finance Reform
Resume
Our series of political debates with the Boston Globe and UMass Boston continues Thursday with a conversation about ballot Question 2.
If it passes, Question 2 would create a citizen commission of 15 people that would research and recommend a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court decision in Citizens United v. FEC.
A "yes" vote would create the commission; a "no" vote would not.
We start the hour with a brief conversation about the modern history of money in politics and what the current rules allow.
Above, you can watch our Facebook Live of the debate or you can also view it on our Facebook page. The audio is available atop this post.
