Voter owned elections-plank

====
* I am in favor of a comprehensive review of all matters within our system of democracy. Everything should be on the table and subject to discussion, public hearings and research.
* Before we get Pittsburgh to a point of public finaced elections, we have many other remedial steps to do to fortify our democratic process. Our voting machines need to be trusted and made with open-source software. Our one-party lever needs to be nuked. Our reporting of expenses and incomes need to be much more transparent.
