Daily News | What is the Philly Board of Ethics and why did it sue a super PAC backing Jeff Brown for mayor?
The board accused Brown and the two entities, which are both called For A Better Philadelphia, of illegally coordinating fundraising efforts that brought in more than $2.4 million.Where did the campaign finance limits come from?
Philadelphia City Council passed legislation that became law in 2004, creating limits on how much money individuals and political action committees can contribute to candidates seeking local offices in the city. Those limits do not apply to campaigns for state office, like representative or senator in the Pennsylvania General Assembly. Federal elections for Congress or the presidency have their own set limits.The local limits, originally set to $2,500 for individuals and $10,000 for PACs, were first applied in a primary election for mayor in 2007. That came after a legal challenge.
