The proposed state ethics commission advisory opinion would violate First Amendment...
The Texas Ethics Commission postponed a vote Thursday as it considers barring nonprofitsand committees by considering the services an in-kind campaign contribution.
The ethics commission’s move to reconsider Thursday came amid an outcry from a broad range of public-interest nonprofits. They say such a rule would stop civil rights groups, for example, from challenging campaign finance laws or regulations they find unconstitutional. David Keating, president of the Institute for Free Speech, a Washington-based nonprofit that opposes limits on political speech and advertising and which requested the opinion, said he was encouraged by Thursday’s discussion in which commissioners seemed receptive to an exemption for groups like his that normally do not charge for their services.
