[TB] In Minneapolis campaign finance reports only need to list contributors who give over $100 in a calander year. In non-election years the limit on contributions that can be accepted is $100 per person meaning that there haven't been any reported contributions since the last election year or 2001. (Election year limits are $500 for city wide race (Mayor, Park Board at large), $300 for Council Members) That being said, at least some of the principals have been seen at fundraisers, they likely gave the 100 bucks. I don't think you're buying any of these folks for a $100 campaign contribution ... even a $300 contribution. Until Minneapolis has public financing of campaigns, we're going to have to live with the contributions. Terrell Brown Loring Park REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
