Description

Secretary of State Tobias Read has warned lawmakers for months that the price tag to implement a historic campaign finance reform law will be high. His agency is now requesting $25 million from the Legislature to prepare for the law's implementation.

The Secretary of State’s Office is asking lawmakers for an initial $25 million to stand up key provisions of a law that will limit political contributions and increase the transparency of spending in Oregon politics – even as agency leaders concede they cannot say what implementation will ultimately cost.
