In the House, Majority Leader Gracia Backer has introduced her own campaign finance bill.
It makes a number of changes in current law...but it keeps limits on how much can be contributed to a campaign by any one person:
In response to Flotron's arguments that the limits have not worked, Backer citing her own campaign:
The house majority leader says that rather than repealing limits, she's working to make the finance reforms more effective.
Backer is sponsoring a bill to change campaign finance laws.
Backer's measure is pending in a House committee -- while the proposal to repeal contribution limits has passed the Senate and is now heading over to the House.
That all assures that campaign financing will be the hot topic this spring in Missouri's capital -- just as it is in Washington.
