Why are citizens still petitioning for pay-to-play reform after our elected officials already adopted such an ordinance?
To address the major sources of pay-to-play funds, Citizen’s Campaign has developed three legally-reviewed model ordinances. These models have served as the basis for the campaign financing reform ordinances of most communities. If citizens are circulating a petition, it is because your governing body has not enacted all three ordinances, or your officials have approved gutted versions.
