Donation Limits on Slate Mailers to Be Extended

From Times Staff Reports
In an attempt to control spending in future political races, Orange County will begin regulating slate mailers that are devoted primarily to supporting or opposing a single candidate.
An amendment to the county’s campaign reform ordinance that was approved Tuesday extends its $1,000 contribution limit to cover slate mailers that are produced or distributed with the cooperation of a candidate’s campaign.
The candidate now will have to pay his or her share of the mailer’s costs.
The cost of the mailers typically far exceed the $1,000 limit.
