The Philadelphia Board of Ethics is accusing a super PAC called "For a Better Philadelphia" and a nonprofit of the same name of coordinating with Jeff Brown to circumvent the city's annual contribution limits.With five weeks until the primary, the controversy is heating up in Philadelphia's mayoral race. The Philadelphia Board of Ethics is accusing a mayoral candidate of violating the city's campaign finance law.
"There are rules for a reason, and I don't think the Board of Ethics would press charges if they didn't have the evidence that there was some wrongdoing," said Democratic candidate Rebecca Rhynhart. "The citizens of the City of Philadelphia need to know who is providing dollars to fund your campaign and having a C-4 with dark money and then going to a super PAC does not allow the citizens of Philadelphia to understand who's funding and who you are beholden to," said Democratic candidate Derek Green.
