Ethics Review panel seeks input
Tuesday, January 20, 2015 by Mark Richardson
The Ethics Review Commission plans a public meeting next week to solicit comments about city regulations limiting contributions and expenditures in mayoral and City Council campaigns. The campaign finance limits apply to candidates who sign a campaign contract with the city. Candidates who sign the contract agree to participate in forums arranged by the Ethics Review Commission and also become eligible for possible disbursements from the Austin Fair Campaign Finance Fund. The public input session will take place at 7 p.m. on Jan. 27 at City Hall. The ERC will also consider input through the city’s online discussion forum, Speak Up Austin.
