Well thats about as far as our agreement may go for now grin

My first inclination about PFE's tells me that there would be more corruption than what we have now, if that's even possible. Several possible hurdles and many possible complications as IR pointed out. I would also be inclined to say that it would shut many people out of the process. Who decides who gets to run and access the public election funds?

I will have to look more into this option before I get back to you on this. Not counting it out though.
