Set limits on campaign contribution receipts to qualify for matching funds
In Plain English
The city currently provides matching funds to candidates but has no limits on contribution size. This law would cap how much donors can give to candidates who want city matching funds. Candidates accepting larger donations would not qualify for taxpayer-funded campaign support.
