Progressives nudge Democrats on campaign finance
By Alex IsenstadtThe Progressive Party is accusing Democrats of giving in to Governor Douglas “just a bit” on campaign finance.
In a weekly newsletter sent out to supporters, Progressive Reps. Susan Hatch Davis, Sarah Edwards, Sandy Haas, Chris Pearson, Dexter Randall, and David Zuckerman write:
“After weeks of testimony, in what can only be described as an instant-replay of last year's work, House Government Operations sent a strong campaign finance bill to the floor. But not before Democrats gave into the Governor just a bit.
“Like last year, the bill establishes reasonable limits on what campaigns can accept from individuals, PACs, and political parties. The committee, against Rep. Pearson's vote, decided to extend the $1,000 limit to all statewide candidates. When the bill came from the Senate, the limit for Lt. Governor on down was $750. Thankfully, the committee wasn't interested in considering the Governor's other proposal that would have permitted unlimited donations from the state party to candidates.”

Thankfully, the committee wasn't interested in considering the Governor's other proposal that would have permitted unlimited donations from the state party to candidates. - Pity that committee is not interested
