Brown vetoes disclosure, voters still record win

The home of Silicon Valley is one step closer to replacing our 14-year old antiquated campaign finance disclosure system under a bill signed by Governor Jerry Brown and cosponsored by California Common Cause and the League of Women Voters of California. In 2011, the Secretary of State's Cal-Access system "‘ containing all state campaign finance and lobbying information "‘ crashed for six weeks. Since the system's failure, campaign finance reform advocates and public officials have taken steps to replace the 14-year old system.
