A campaign finance ordinance that had previously been shot down by the board was once again tabled by a vote of 3-2. If passed, the ordinance would have, among other things, capped the amount of contributions by people or business entities to a candidate to $1,000 during an election period. In addition, the ordinance would have set $5,000 as the maximum amount that could be given by people or organiza- tions outside the county. David Colfax, 5th District supervisor, sponsored the item and said excessive mon- etary contributions were a concern, even in smaller counties like Mendocino. “Fundamentally what we’re trying to do is bring the first step to address the issue of money in campaigns,” he said. “At the same time the document is more on the order of a first draft effort. If passed it would not go into effect for the June primary.” John Pinches, 3rd District supervisor, said he had followed county politics for years and ascertained no need for such an ordi- nance. “I don’t see the problem,” he said. “I MacLeod Pappidas/The Daily Journal don’t see the undue influence.
