Greg Marx (Columbia Journalism Review) and Gordon Witkin (The Center for Public Integrity)
On Democracy in America, Greg talks to Gordon about transparency and accountability in government. Gordon explains why New Jersey got high marks just before Gov. Christie’s bridge scandal.

Is the Supreme Court making it harder to report on campaign finance? They close by considering how many races are determined by outside money.
