Charles County Commissioner President Candice Quinn Kelly (D) and Commissioner Ken Robinson (D: 1st) broke ranks with the remaining commissioners again on Tuesday over campaign finance reform.
The discussion of campaign finance had first come up when the commissioners had to pass an ethics ordinance last year in accordance with state law. The law proposed on Tuesday requires candidates for county commissioner file financial disclosure statements listing all contributions made for two years. Once elected, they must file disclosures every six months due on April 30th and August 30th each calendar year. Upon leaving office, they must also report on contributions made since their last disclosure within 90 days of leaving office.
Commissioner Debra Davis (D: 2nd) said the law has already been ill-advised, to which Kelly responded that she had not heard that. Davis responded back, saying, “it is ill-advised.”I can only think of one group of individuals who would say this is ill-advised - those who want to hide behind business names when donating to candidates. So, bottom line, who's best interest is Commissioner Davis looking out for on this issue?
