Lake Worth explores limits on campaign gifts

From the PB Post article:

Citing the series of local investigations into political influence-peddling in recent years, Jennings asked commissioners to "take a proactive stance on what I see as a prolific ethics problem in our county."

State law limits campaign contributions from individuals and committees, other than political parties, to $500 per election.

With the tougher ordinance, she said, "We won't have to sit here and worry about conflicts of interest. They wouldn't exist."

Earth to Commissioner Jennings - there is more to conflict of interest than who supports your campaign!
