[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]One of the most common criticisms of Bowser has been her reliance on developer money. This basically makes that a nonissue. So, in that regard it should help her. But, it probably only helps her with good-government, pinko commies like me.

I would agree 100% with this. I was not expecting it. But can’t developers still donate in smaller increments multiple times? I’m not sure how it works in DC.[/quote]

Developers normally get around contribution limits by donating from multiple LLCs. Each of their projects normally has its own LLC so if they have five projects, they make five contributions plus personal contributions. With public financing, corporations can't contribute. So developers can only make personal contributions. Of course, they will make one for themselves, their spouse, any kids that are over 21, etc. But, it will still almost certainly be less than $1,000 which is far less than the $2,500 they used to give for each LLC.
