Campaign Reform
Signs of the coming (reform) apocalypse : I agree with James Tedisco and The New York Post
Well ... the sky is falling.
Pigs are flying.
Hell froze over.
James Tedisco has proposed legislation to regulate campaign fundraising "bundling".
I actually think this proposal is a good idea.
May 1, 2007 -- ALBANY - In a very public poke at Gov. Spitzer, Assembly Minority Leader James Tedisco yesterday said he is introducing legislation that would limit how much fund-raising "bundlers" can pull together for a political campaign.
[...]
"If anything defines pay to play, this is it," said Tedisco (R-Schenectady), whose bill would limit the amount an individual can raise for a candidate, a practice known as bundling, to $100,000.
Comparing those who bundle to "bagmen," Tedisco would also require a campaign to identify those who bundle for them and how much they raised, list the names, occupation, employer, and spouse's employer of all individual contributors, and list specific access gained by contribution level.
As to what do I think about Spitzer's sauntering to California for a re-election fundraiser? I only have one thing to say :
WHAT THE HELL WAS HE THINKING?!?!?!
