MS Senate unanimously passes its version of campaign finance reform

Senators push bill limiting campaign cash for personal use

Senators unanimously agree that there should be limits on Mississippi public officials spending campaign money on themselves.

The Legislature’s upper chamber passed Senate Bill 2689 Wednesday, sending it to the House for more debate. The House passed a similar bill last month, and Sen. Sally Doty, a Brookhaven Republican, says differences will likely be worked out later in the session.
