Ogden to Amend Campaign Finance Disclosure Laws

Two items: More info re Tuesday's council action; and Bill Critchlow's hard hitting letter gets promoted to the Standard-Examiner editorial page

By Curmudgeon

The Standard-Examiner this morning includes a Scott Schwebke story on the City Council's action on Tuesday, regarding the proposed revision of Ogden's campaign finance disclosure ordinance.

[Among the language to be inserted into the council's proposed amended ordinance would be a firm definition of a "political action committee" which mirrors the state's definition, together with provisions requiring active PAC membership disclosure, in order to address the Envision Ogden/FNURE money laundering problem. Other proposed changes are briefly summarized in the table below, which we've incorporated from the SE Digital Edition. - Ed.]

Also, Bill Critchlow's recent letter to the editor (which became available on line some days ago) appears in this morning's print edition of the SE.

Reader comments are invited, as always.
