FEC Commissioners Thomas and Toner Propose Final FEC
Rule on 527s
Bob Bauer has posted the proposed final rule, as well as a bit of
explanation about the rule, here.
It is not at all clear that this rule, or something like it, would
obtain a vote of a majority of the commissioners. From reports of last
month's hearing, as well as press reports, it looks as though
Commissioners McDonald, Smith, and Weintraub may not be willing to sign
on to a rule such as this one. It will take a vote of four
commissioners to enact a final rule.
