FROM: Supervisor Sunn'e Wright McPeak Contra
49 Cost�a}
DATE: Introduced February 10, 1987 for Action on County
February 24, 1987
SUBJECT: Campaign Reform
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Request the Elections Department to reconvene the County Task
Force on campaign reform to review pending State legislation
on campaign reform and advise the Board of Supervisors on
appropriate positions regarding all the proposals.
BACKGROUND
Campaign reform statewide is long overdue. The cost of
campaigning is out of control and the measures introduced to
date at the local and federal levels have not had the effect
of reducing overall expenditures. Further, the preoccupation
with fundraising in California is seriously detracting from
the attention to the public' s interest.
The original Contra Costa County Task Force would be an
appropriate body to begin reviewing many of the proposals and
developing a comprehensive position on campaign reform for the
Board of Supervisors to support and advocate.
