Steve Sabludowski jumps on board the campaign finance bandwagon!
Steve Sabludowski, owner of BayouBuzz.com states:
It is unfair for a network of related-companies to contribute the legal limits to a single candidate (whether those candidates are republicans or democrats or even independents) . That practice sends the wrong message when we are trying to say that
Louisiana is not for sale. While disallowing government officials to work for government agencies or acting as consultants for lobbyists is a major focus of the Jindal ethics reform, there can really be no real reform if candidates can skirt election laws by pooling contributions from related businesses. Ifreally wants to get into the business of becoming the beacon of bright ethics light, it must start with the very way we handle and win our own elections. Louisiana
The companies don’t have to be related in any way other than the fact that they are owned by someone. Is absolutely a circumvention of the explained intent of campaign finance laws to allow someone to donate the maximum amount allowed times the number of corporations he owns plus one.
I have a feeling that this is going to really take off soon. Let’s just hope that the politicians (who benefit from these loopholes) pay attention and realize that this is going to be what the majority of the citizens want. No true ethics reform can happen without campaign finance reform.
