It didn’t take long for the new majority on the Ventura County Board of Supervisors to assert itself and make a clear statement that change is in the air.
Ventura County Board of Supervisors voted 3-2 on March 14 to repeal its rules on campaign contribution limits and expenditures, raising campaign contributions from $750 per contributor to $5,500.
Proponents call it redundant because of state laws, but opponents say it would lift individual donation limits to county candidates from $750 to $5500.
At its March 14 meeting the Ventura County Board of Supervisors will hold the first of two required public hearings to repeal a county ordinance imposing local campaign finance limits.
