Campaign Finance Loophole Inserted in Spending Bill
via Roll Call
Senate appropriators folded into a draft spending bill a provision long sought by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell that would relax campaign finance coordination rules between candidates and the political parties.
This marks the second time in less than a year that lawmakers have sought major changes to campaign finance regulations through must-pass appropriations measures. But with work on spending bills stalled on both sides of the Capitol due to larger disagreements over sequestration, the potential for getting looser campaign regulations enacted into law this time is still unclear.
