Letter of the Day (Jan. 14): Campaign finances

(Susan Hogan — NewsArt/The Minnesota Star Tribune)

I'm frustrated by the amount of money being spent on the presidential campaign. Something is sadly wrong with a value system that condones spending millions on an election several months away while human services, schools and other budgets are being cut. Surely something can be done to limit the time and money spent on a single campaign.ELAIN Edge, Rogers
