(Sacramento) — Members of the Senate Elections and Constitutional Amendments Committee tonight killed SB 1379, which contained some of the toughest ethics and campaign finance restrictions put forward since three Democratic lawmakers were suspended while facing criminal charges, two of them involving corruption. Authored by Senator Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar) the Legislative Reform and Transparency Act of 2014 sought to reform campaign financing and ethics in the California Legislature.
SB 1379 would have limited legal abuses related to the gathering and spending of campaign funds. It attempted to close a campaign fundraising loophole by applying existing campaign contribution limits to candidate controlled ballot measure committees and prohibit the expenditure of campaign funds for criminal defense and for paying a spouse or dependents. This reform measure required 72 hour disclosure of legislative campaign contributions at times other than election cycles; prohibit a lobbyist or lobbyist employer from hiring a legislator’s spouse or child for “do-nothing” jobs and increased the fines and penalties for bribery.

The City of Fullerton is seeking proposals from qualified investment advisory firms for portfolio management services for approximately $90 million in cash and investments. The City’s primary investment objective is to achieve a reasonable rate of return on public funds while minimizing the potential for capital losses arising from market changes or issuer default. Although the generation of revenues through interest earnings on investments is an appropriate City goal, the primary consideration in the investment of City funds is capital preservation in the overall portfolio. As such, the City’s yield objective is to achieve a reasonable rate of return on City investments rather than the maximum generation of income, which could expose the City to unacceptable levels of risk. …read more
