RFI ED talks campaign disclosure laws
Speaking with the Better Government Association about lax campaign disclosure laws in Illinois, RFI ED Alisa Kaplan said “There are so many political committees, and it’s not realistic to go through all of them with a fine-tooth comb. But [the Illinois State Board of Elections] needs to audit enough of them to deter wrongdoing. And in enforcement, the board needs to provide enough leeway for some honest or trivial mistakes, so as not to prevent good candidates from reaching public office, while still sending a message that people have to follow the rules.”
