The problems the Governor has had over prison contracts may lead to new controls. Contribution limit caps may be added to new legislation new year. Government reform advocates say limiting what state contract recipients can give to campaigns of North Carolina elected officials would diminish the perception that donors get special access and assistance.
Jane Pinsky with the North Carolina Coalition for Lobbying and Government Reform urged lawmakers Tuesday to pass legislation next year that would cap donations to $500 per election for candidates for governor and the Council of State.
Pinsky talked about the legislation during a news conference touching on a meeting that Gov. Pat McCrory held with a campaign donor who was seeking to extend a prison maintenance contract.
