CGA Government Administration and Elections Committee February 14, 2011 Public Hearing CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM Comments Submitted by Christine S. Horrigan, VP of Public Issues Support For: SB 945 AAC ELECTRONIC FILING OF CAMPAIGN REPORTS WITH THE STATE ELECTIONS ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION The League of Women Voters of Connecticut thanks you for the opportunity to comment on SB 945AAC Electronic Filing of Campaign Reports with the State Elections Enforcement Commission. The League supports lowering the thresholds and expanding the universe for mandatory electronic filing of campaign reports as proposed in SB 945. Mandatory electronic filing promotes transparency in government and prompt disclosure. It is also more efficient, reduces paper and saves money—important considerations in these difficult economic times. We urge you to vote “YES” on SB 945. Thank you.
