Kelly: Making Ballentine’s bill better
For a bill that won’t be pre-filed until December, Rep. Nathan Ballentine’s proposal to require candidates to disclose all contributions online within 48 hours during the two-week blackout period before elections has generated a lot of discussion.
I saw Rep. Keith Kelly, R-Spartanburg, tonight at the Spartanburg County GOP Bronze Elephant do-dad. It seems there’s a friendly game of one-uppance afoot. Kelly said he read about Ballentine’s bill and figured out a way to make it better: Require disclosures within 24 hours.
“I like what Nathan’s got, but if we can get it down to 24 hours, that would be great,” he said.
So, we started at 48. Now, I’m hearing 24. Anyone want to go for 12?
