Jack Siegel comments on local campaign finance rules in Globe and Mail

In an article in the May 19, 2008 issue of The Globe and Mail entitled "Province to Study its Rules on Local Campaign Reports", Blaney McMurtry lawyer Jack Siegel said that local candidates should be required to appoint a financial agent to ensure compliance, the same as candidates running provincially or federally are required to do. Mr. Siegel, who focuses a large part of his practice on campaign finance law, also commented that the Province should administer local elections or appoint a provincial compliance commissioner.
