Publication of all election expenses urged by Dana interview
Richard H. Dana, active in pushing a law for full publication of election expenses, says publicity is the strongest deterrent to undue spending. He notes England’s experience and cites a 19th century bill that would require accounts by candidates, party committees, organizations, and individuals, with penalties for false filings and courts able to compel disclosure. He recalls similar bills failing in the Senate after passing the House in 1889, 1890, and last year, with a committee likely to back a bill this year.
