Campaign spending bill stalls in House amid delay
Washington AP The sweeping campaign finance reform bill to curb spending by federal candidates stalled in the House with recess looming until January 16. If enacted, limits would apply after the presidential primaries in New Hampshire and Florida, affecting advertising across newspapers magazines mail and radio and TV. The bill would cap spending at 10 cents per eligible voter per contest or $50,000, whichever is higher, with up to 8.4 million for broadcasting in a presidential general election. House passage hinged on members reading the printed report as Sagan Hays blocked a final vote, saying the bill should be read first. Public supporters say the measure serves the public interest by covering elections from start to finish.
