The Fund Political Bill
Tax dollars can't fund political lobbying, citizens can sue
AN ACT relating to prohibited uses of tax dollars.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, people could sue the government if tax money is used to push or oppose ballot measures, and officials could lose jobs for ten years.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
The bill would let taxpayers hold officials accountable for misusing public money on politics, protecting fair elections and deterring corrupt lobbying, but it could also chill government communication.
