[EL] Record: GOP out of sync in DC and Trenton

[Primo, David]

This story reflects a familiar theme in campaign finance law:
Politicians of both parties do not often enact these (or any other) laws
with the "public interest" or "good government" or "clean government" or
"sunshine" in mind.  They are much more likely to enact  campaign
finance laws for naked partisan or other political advantage.

Colleagues:

The Record (New Jersey) provides an interesting news analysis of the
pending pay-to-play transparency Executive Order, which would require
full disclosure of political spending by federal government contractors.
New Jersey Republicans have long supported New Jersey's pay-to-play law,
which is the strictest in the nation, when they are in Trenton -- but
sing a very different tune when in Washington DC.
