Dear Jason & List Readers, Thank you for the warm welcome. When I was entrusted with this position, I made the decision that when election time came I would not accept campaign contributions from anyone (well-paid or not) employed by the Park Board. While not illegal, the perception of a conflict of interest is strong in some people's minds and not worth it. However, if anyone out there wishes to monetarily support me, I'd be honored to accept. FYI - $300 is the limit for individuals or committees.
Now that I've made my position clear, Jason, what's yours? All the best, Carol Kummer, MPRB Commissioner, District 5 and candidate P.S. List manager - are there any guidelines that candidates need to be aware of as the political season gears up?

In the interest of openness, could you please indicate whether you would accept campaign contributions in the form of fundraising events and monetary contributions directly from the Park Board's well-paid legal counsel/lobbyist?
