In case you missed it: earlier this week, a Nebraska radio station reported (download the player here) on a movement to stop the state's Public Service Commissioners from accepting campaign cash from industries they regulate. Otherwise, how are they supposed to rule impartially? And just as important, how can we, the public, know that they're not playing favorites?

Rather than force elected officials to make "judgment calls," how about offering public financing, so that we all know whom they represent when they're in office? Something to think about this long weekend.
