Legislation is proceeding in Minnesota that seeks to eliminate a public subsidy program, eliminate a political contribution refund program, cut the Campaign Finance Board budget and end the Board's rulemaking authority. Inaction by the legislature has removed the Board's quorum and it can't act. We oppose this effort!
Why is this important?
I am a former Chair of the Campaign Finance Board. I know that adoption of these measures will mean that Minnesota will become a "pay to play" state with officeholders solely beholden to big contributors.
