Given that the purpose of these reports is to make the
information public the delay is unacceptable.
One of the reasons that a report is due shortly before
an election is so the major contribution list is
available before the election. A 2 week delay for
filing at that time could well delay the public's
reciept of the information until after the election.
For state elections the Campaign Finance and Public
Disclosure Board has a computer program that will
prepare a candidate's report and file it online. It
would be beneficial if Henn. County could make the
same program available for elections in Hennepin
County.
This would make it easier for campaigns to file the
reports and online filing would eliminate mail delays
in receiving the reports.
