Campaign Disclosure Forms Reveal Who Gave What To Whom In City Council Elections
Richardson-Batts and Webb Miss Deadline, File Late
(August 15, 2000) -- Campaign disclosure reports filed by LB City Council candidates and local political committees provide a wealth of enlightening data, showing who contributed how much to whom.
In the public interest, LBReport.com lists below some noteworthy contributions surrounding the 2000 LB City Council elections. LBReport.com will permanently post this data, and other material as it becomes available, on our Reference page where it can be easily accessed at any time.
The LB City Clerk's office has indicated that the most recently due reports for embattled interim Councilmember Laura Richardson-Batts (6th district) and Councilman Rob Webb (8th district) were not timely filed by July 31. Interim Councilwoman Richardson-Batts filed on August 7 and Councilman Webb filed on August 14. LBReport.com will upload pertinent portions of their data shortly. Both Richardson-Batts & Webb filed disclosure forms earlier this year for earlier filing periods.
Disclosure reports were timely filed by 6th district candidate Dee Andrews (who brought suit to invalidate Ms. Richardson-Batts' six vote win amid election irregularities; the race will be re-run in November); 4th district candidate (now Councilmember) Dennis Carroll; former incumbent 4th district Councilmember Del Roosevelt and re-elected incumbent Councilmember Dan Baker.
LB's local campaign finance reform law (Prop M) limits the maximum contribution per candidate to $250 per election, but an additional $250 is allowed if the candidate is in a subsequent runoff.
The data below is contained in publicly filed statements made by the following LB campaign committees:
