Orozco, Norma <br />From: <br />Sent: <br />To: <br />Cc: <br />Subject: <br />Item 65C - Charter Amendments: <br />Janine Stallings <brokensouvenir@msn.com> <br />Monday, July 06, 2020 9:38 PM <br />eComment <br />Sarmiento, Vicente; Janna (0 Westover <br />City Charter - Item 65C <br />I am in favor of including the term limits proposed for the voters to decide. <br />I am in favor of including language in the update to the campaign contribution limit section to include associations and <br />labor unions, in particular the POA. I am in favor of language that makes it clear that this provision applies to any <br />organization that the POA can donate to, and therefor potentially finance campaign(s) indirectly. <br />This language should go further and address financing of "other committees" formed to support or oppose candidates or <br />initiatives/referendums, the language uses in the Required Disclosures section (1206.01). Specifically, add a section to <br />the effect of "labor unions and labor associations shall not contribute to committees primarily formed to support or <br />oppose candidates or primary formed to support or oppose qualification of an initiative or referendum measure, further, <br />labor unions and labor associations shall not directly finance campaigns for mayor or City Council either with or without <br />coordination with the candidate, and shall not directly finance campaigns to support or oppose qualification of an <br />initiative or referendum measure". <br />Thank you, <br />Janine Stallings <br />Resident, Ward 1 <br />
