This from the Daily News today:
In a surprise move late yesterday, Councilman James Kenney decided to hold back his campaign-contribution bills until after the May primary election.
He said there was too much "confusion" over the bills. But what we've heard is not "confusion" but opposition to the bills. Kenney's effort became a rallying cry against machine politics for progressives -- and for challengers to the Council incumbents, who held a noisy press conference in City Hall yesterday.
This is a victory for campaign finance reform, folks.

wow, I know Kenney is shocked at the reaction his bills provoked. I'm glad he was unable to push these changes forward. The overreaction to Knox's poll numbers was completely ridiculous. They acted like every rich guy who has ever run for office has been successful.

Speaking of the poll, when will the next one come out?
