San Diego Explores Limits on Political Party Campaign Donations PDF Print E-mail

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - New limits on financial contributions by political parties to candidates for San Diego's ostensibly nonpartisan municipal offices were proposed Wednesday to the City Council's Rules Committee.

The plan drawn up by the city's Ethics Committee stems from a federal court ruling that struck down San Diego's old ban on donations from political parties. A temporary $1,000 ceiling was later rescinded by the judge in the case, so there are no limitations on such giving in the current election year.
