(North Dakota Monitor) – A stripped-down campaign finance bill failed in the state Senate after a prolonged disagreement between chambers.
State Rep. Steve Vetter, R-Grand Forks, said that he doesn’t think the public is interested in a higher level of detail
“Nobody’s asking to know which vendors I’m working with or those types of things,” Vetter said.
State Rep. Emily O’Brien, R-Grand Forks, told her colleagues on the House floor she was disappointed with the direction the bill had taken.
“No one should have to ask,” O’Brien said
She said she didn’t understand why some lawmakers are reluctant to make more campaign finance data public.
