The San Jose Mercury News offers this report. A snippet: “San Jose election law requires independent campaigns that influence races for city council or mayor to be funded by individual contributions of no more than $250. COMPAC acknowledged its anti-Chavez campaign was funded by contributions that exceeded that limit but argued it was about ‘issues’ instead of candidates and therefore not subject to the limits.” The article does not mention whether the PAC also plans to argue that contribution limits on independent expenditures violate the First Amendment, an issue that is subject to considerable debate.
