Last night, on Thursday 21, 2016, the St. Petersburg City Council voted 6-1 to move forward for consideration our proposed ordinance to abolish super PACs and ban foreign corporate money in local elections. The vote followed passionate statements made by many St. Petersburg residents who attended this discussion and packed the city council hearing room. American Promise-Tampa Bay, the League of Women Voters of St. Petersburg, and other allies played a critical role in showing the public support for this proposed ordinance.
