{"product_id":"gutter-politics-9781954396746","title":"Gutter Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003eMy dad is shining a spotlight on a much larger national problem-the dominance of big money in our elections. Campaign spending in 2024 will likely top $14 billion, and more than half that money will be deployed by PACs of various kinds spewing falsehoods and negative messages. Excessive political spending used to be a national story. It's now becoming a local one, and that's why Naples is a cautionary tale in a larger reality. But it's a story we, the people, can rewrite in the coming years if we reach across the political divide to reduce the undue influence of money over our politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNicholas Penniman V, Founder, Issue One (www.issueone.org)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy grandfather brings it to the local level.
