RMN political reporter Daniel Chacón today exposed widespread violations of the city's campaign finance laws.
According to the law, candidates must report both the occupation and employer of all donors who give more than $200.
However, they are failing to do so. Mayor Hickenlooper and Auditor Gallagher are among the violators, while Julie Connor's campaign seems to have been cleared. Other candidates were not mentioned in this story.
The only reason violators haven't been caught is that the Clerk & Recorder's office isn't doing their job and auditing any of these statements. Stephanie O'Malley is looking into the matter.
The full story can be found online: "Campaign Finance Laws Being Violated."
