A kid can learn a thing or two about politics when Mom wins election to state office - and Dad makes an unsuccessful bid for governor. Lexi, the daughter of state Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink, is concerned about a campaign finance loophole. During her mother's campaign, Lexi learned that political parties don't have to file frequent financial reports in the weeks immediately preceding an election. She thinks they should so the public can know who's influencing elections. "I've been exposed to a lot of politics," she said. "You see how it's a problem."
I'm all for this becoming law. Plus, as a political junkie I would able to get information on soft money faster. I add that I feel the same way about the PAC money.
Update: here is Lexi's law in her own words. (PDF link.)
