The Naperville City Council struck down a contested campaign disclosure ordinance Tuesday night, putting an end to rules that sought to define when officials should publicly divulge political donations.
Naperville’s contested campaign disclosure ordinance is no more. Elected leaders struck down the statute at Tuesday’s Naperville City Council meeting, putting an end to rules that, when established almost three years ago, sought to define when officials should publicly divulge political donations for the sake of transparency. In action, the ordinance just didn’t serve its intended purpose, at least according to a majority council members this week.
However, back in the spring, the council was divided on the matter and not ready to make any formal decisions. With four lame duck members on the dais and just weeks to go until their successors assumed their positions, the discussion was tabled. But the rules proved as difficult for the new council to get behind this week as the previously seated council. A few recurring critiques of the ordinance circulated Tuesday. First was that it simply fell short.
