Great work here Andrew, holding feet to the fire once again.  I wonder if  Ms. Mayor is knitting herself up a Andrew Kurjata voodo doll?
I agree with Shawn that campaign spending limits are needed to make  campaigns  affordable and I like his idea of setting the limit proportional to the population of the municipality.
However, I don't agree with the 1 year salary figure.  Still too steep for most.  Few can justify spending thousands out of pocket to invest in a opportunity that might not pan out.  Big risk to take.
