from http://www.revisor.leg.state.mn.us/stats/383B/041.html Here is the text of the 383b.041 383B.041 Campaign financing, disclosure of economic interests. Sections 383B.041 to 383B.058 apply to the financing of campaigns for county elections in Hennepin county and for city elections in home rule charter cities and statutory cities located wholly within Hennepin county, having a population of 75,000 or more, and for school board elections in the special school district No. 1, Minneapolis, and to disclosure of economic interests by candidates and elected public officials of those jurisdictions. The provisions of sections 211A.02 to 211A.07 do not apply to the financing of campaigns for elections subject to the provisions of sections 383B.041 to 383B.058. HIST: 1980 c 362 s 1; 1987 c 218 s 2; 1988 c 578 art 1 s 5 EY: I'm a little confused -- I don't read in this statutory reference what Scott says the county staff told him. How does this law prevent publicly listing the campaign disclosure documents on line? I'm not a lawyer -- perhaps one of the lawyers on this list can explain this one. In the interests of good government, this type of stuff should be accessible online. RT Rybak ran on this type of platform. What will RT do about this -- it seems like he could have some influence in this area?
