Illinois law lifts disclosure on small political donations
The General Assembly approved a broad elections bill sending it to Gov. Thompson. It raises the donation disclosure threshold from 150 to 250 dollars, meaning gifts under that amount need not be listed or traced to donors. The measure also tightens petition requirements for home rule propositions and sets a regional method to nominate House candidates if needed. Lawmakers rejected a 50 percent bingo tax hike to fund police anti-drug groups, voting 92-54 against the increase.
